Welding a bracket in would be a snap if that is all it took.
Thanks for the write-up
The Coupe has more bracing built into it to accommodate the attachment of the roof just like the diff and transmissions are different to fit the torque beam. If you wanted to spend an inordinate amount of money doing a lot of custom fabrication. It can be done but it's going to be a nightmare.

Larger than the DelSol roof if I remember it's roof correctly. Ours looks to be a bit wider in both directions. Looking online I see a couple references to it weighing 24 lbs where ours is 31 lbs and it's lighter weight magnesium instead of aluminum.
The Corvette C6 roof panel is around 20 lbs and I'm not sure how it compares size wise.
