Dustin, you are one crazy guy, and I like that quality in you! Putting a
hardtop on a convertible makes way more sense than the other way around.

My only suggestion is to find a donor car that isn't as good as the one you
have. There are lots of parts cars out there that have good tops and nothing
else. Please use one of those cars instead of your "perfect body" car.

Good luck with the project and keep us posted.
