I am restoring a 71 convertible. I know the inner wheel houses are different on a convertible than a hardtop, but before I purchase the outers, can anyone tell me if they are the same or different than a hartop.
Does anyone reproduce inner wheelhouses or patch panels for a convertible?
Thanks!

The outer wheel housings are different, but you can modify the hard top housings to fit. Coupes are round on top and converts are flat. When done correctly its undetectible. Mine came out pretty good. Once you remove the 1/4 panel you'll see the difference.
