Unless you are very lucky and very skilled it is a two day project.  I took
my top  frame off to clean and repaint in in 1980.  Replacing a convert top
is a piece of cake as compared to aligning a top frame to a car.  The shop
manual supplement has the directions on how to adjust the top frame to the
car.
