CJ7 hard top mod

Hi, I just got a CJ7 top for free. It's in pretty good condition for an almost 20 year old top. I've decided to herculine it... I think. But my question is... can I cut it down the center (Horizontally) so that it can be used as a T-top style without the front or a hard bikini style when I want? Is there a way I can put latches on it (Similar to the ones that TJs use for their soft tops at the top of the windshield) to hold it together when I want to use it as a full top? I think it would also make it a lot easier to remove and put up too. The only thing that I think would be a problem is having the front of the top secure... keeping the latches from snapping open. Leakage could be a problem too, but I think with the Herculiner and possibly even some type of weatherstripping it could be done. Input anyone? Thanks guys! -Mike :D
 

Wow. Making your own Targa top. Good luck. Find out all you can about factory Targa tops (ie. Sierra, not Jeep/DC).

I had a Targa Top on my ol YJ and it was not all that great of a deal. Never really sealed all that well and I hardly ever road it with the half top off. It was all ways all or nothing. tug
