    It depends on the vehicle. On an S2000, it is pretty much a bitch. Takes all of one day and most of the next. I have seen it done, and it isn't pretty.

    It's not that hard on any car, is it just the top or frame too? Either way it's fairly easy.

    It depends on the car... I did one on a 70s GM A-body and I will NEVER do that again.
