What is involved in swapping an entire vert top (includes top and frame along with lines, latches, and rams) from one car to another?

is it as simple as it sounds, or not?

it's pretty straight forward. it's just bulky and heavy. get a couple of guys to help out. some nuts and bolts are in really tight spaces. the toughest part is trying to get a good alignment to get a good seal. it's already bad as it is, but with a new frame it takes time to get it right.

go for it, its very doable.
