I would like to find out where to add structural support to compensate for the lack of rigidness because of the removal of the hardtop, and the most effective way to do this. Is there are any kits or specific hardware I would need? What type of modifications would be required?

I did some more research, and low and behold, I was wrong again. A 1969 cadillac devile convertible is a little lighter than the hard top version. So that is not an accurate way to tell whether or not your given frame needs reinforcing. I still stand by the research into comparing frames of simmilar or same manufacturer of the given car you are going to modifiy. What is the year and model of your vehicle?
Hi, me again, I found that American Rodder issue that I was reffering to. It is " Feburary 1993 No. 45." I reviewed that article again and I must be getting old. Because it really did a jod job of expaining how to do the top part of the conversion. And it does seem rather easy, but did not explain what you would nee to do to reinforce the frame. You should be able to research the differnces with google. Hope this helps.
