I've seen pictures of 86 or 88 Suz. Samurai's that have half door convertable tops.  That's makes since, but I have seen a few that ALSO have the side of the door....the part that sticks up in the ear where a full door would close against...missing.  Did they "shave" this off?  If so, is there a kit for a full convertable top that would cover thisnow missing area?  OR, are these just people that never put a top on it? 

Am I making any since or do i need to re-word this.

I want the Half door look and nothing but roll cage vieable from there up....unless the soft-top is on.....which I want to cover the whole top.

Anyone know where I can find info on such a conversion, or if it will have to be custom work?  Like shaving it myself...weldind to clean up the metal....then get a custom top made from a shop?

here is an example:
 

Actually, you can just unbolt the Targa Bar and pull it off.  I only put mine on if I'm planning on using the doors, otherwise it just gets stuck on things.  Like Trees and rocks.   

For a top, I usually run a soft top that has had the sides cut out of it.  Or just a Bikini top and tie it down to the roll cage.  If you want a soft top that will snap down and fit snug against your roll cage then your best bet would be a custom made one.  If you have a Marine shop nearby they could probable suggest someone who can make a nice top for you.

It looks like this guy is running Jeep YJ canvas half doors as well, a few people have taken old Samurai doors and cut them down to have a hard style instead of canvas.

the half doors from petroworks are real nice. they're canvas not vynle
