I've done it, I have pics from the install. It was actually rather easy given my somewhat extensive mechanical history. If you want some tips and think you're up for it let me know I'll scan what I have and send them to you. Heck, if you're close enough we can work something out, it only takes about 4 hours.

I guess I could answer the initial question also, when I did mine all the parts cost me about $400 from a totalled 01 V6. 4 hour install, no leaks whatsoever and it looked so good no one could tell they weren't factory. If you do it or have it done, please be kind enough to the car to install subframe connectors, I never installed them on my '97 Z (the car I t-topped) when I had it and I never had any problems but I in no way recommend being cheap like I was and skimping on subframes.

i had an 84 monte that i made an 88 ss, and had tops put in, it cost 1,600.00 i look back now and i gave the car to my brother and say wow 1,600.00 for a few years of fun in the sun. not really worth it know. but then i thought it was the best investment. lol, young and high school grad. money. if you have the money do it i guess, but you will think about it later if you get rid of the car. thanks jeremy
