The relationship between Droptop Customs and Hall was established in 2011 after we had our first Dodge Challenger SRT8 converted. Since then, we’ve had many more conversions done, all to the complete satisfaction of our customers.

Since the manufacturer has not offered convertibles and there are customers that would like to own one, we decided to give our customers this unique opportunity. We now have an exclusive relationship with Droptop Customs by becoming an “Authorized Dealer”. We will have at least one of their conversions in stock for the customer to view or purchase.

We also can place sold orders for the exact color, model and options that you want. Then have the vehicle directly shipped from the factory to Droptop Customs, saving on transportation costs, to complete the convertible conversion. Having your new vehicle done this way allows you to finance the conversion along with new vehicle cost at a much lower interest rate.

Drop Top Customs by Convertible Builders LLC, originally founded in 1976 as “Coachbuilders Limited,” has over 35 years of experience. “We are proud to say that we are 100 percent debt free! We don’t work to make ends meet; we work to meet your needs” says owner Jeff Moran!

Convertible Builders LLC understands that our customers have discerning tastes, and they want to satisfy you. They deliver the best in convertible conversions! Whether you want a late-model Dodge Challenger, Charger or Chrysler 300 convertible their skilled team will make sure you drive away with what you want.

All of their conversion projects are completed in-house, from the moment you vehicle arrives until the moment it leaves. Their facilities include complete metalworking, upholstery, painting and fiberglass equipment, making them your one-stop destination for all of your specialty convertible conversion needs. 

Jeff is proud to say that they are the oldest aftermarket convertible converter in the United States, and we have designed more convertible conversions than anyone else in the world. Their resume is impressive: They have done conversions on Cadillac, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Ferrari, Jaguar and other makes, and our masterpieces have been shipped to customers everywhere from California to Maine, and farther to places like Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Norway, Thailand, Switzerland, and Germany.

They offer a one-year, parts and labor warranty and an additional three-year warranty for mechanical parts. Contrary to what many people believe about conversions, their work does not void the vehicle’s factory warranty. Our warranty covers the areas we affect, and the remaining areas are covered by the manufacturer’s factory warranty.

To make getting to know your new conversion easier, they provide operator manuals that include detailed instructions on the use and care of your new convertible top. Also, in case you need any parts for your conversion in the future, they maintain a full inventory of spare parts. In most cases, they can ship you your parts the day you need them! All prices are established based on each model and year. That means that every customer pays exactly the same price.

Convertible Builders uses the best quality materials and are involved at every stage of the conversion, right through to final delivery.

The key to a successful design is to achieve solid, functional operation without sacrificing aesthetic lines. That is the foundation of Convertible Builders’ design experience. They are proud to offer their customers the same award-winning Dodge Challenger convertible that won the “Chrysler Design Excellence” award at SEMA 2008 as commissioned by and developed in cooperation with Chrysler’s Ralph Gilles, President and CEO, SRT Brand.

•FULL OPEN CONVERTIBLE: We build all four-door convertibles without the unsightly roll bar. They are long, low, strong and sleek cars.

•POWER TOP: All tops are hydraulically powered for thousands of trouble free cycles. We employ manufacture style manual latches at the front corners.

•QUARTER WINDOWS: Fully operational quarter windows maintain the styling and distinctive body lines of the Challenger.

•CONVERTIBLE TOP MATERIAL: The top material is a very color fast and durable acrylic polyester cloth.

•PADDED ROOF: The roofs have a padding and insulation layer between the bow structure and the roof cloth for complete sound and temperature insulation.

•HEADLINERS: Full fabric headliners that complement the car interior colors provide a finished look and cover the internal bow structure.

•FINISHED HEADER:  Painted header for added style and seal durability.

•INTERIOR SPACE: They retain the original, full rear seat and legroom including all original seat belt anchors.

•TRUNK SPACE: Depending on model, we retain approximately 80% of the original trunk even with the top down. There is still plenty of room for your baggage and golf clubs!

•REAR WINDOW: The rear window is a large, heated glass window designed specifically for that model.

•REINFORCEMENTS: They reinforce the car substantially, inside and underneath. There are steel beams in the rocker area to tie the frame underneath, gussets at the center and rear doorposts, steel channels at the rear deck and beams connecting the rear shock towers. There is also a Droptop Customs High Strength Light Weight Aluminum front shock tower strut that is painted to match the cars color! The cars are exceedingly strong and stay that way over the years.

Typical cost of the Challenger conversion is $18,000 and $20,000 for the Charger and Chrysler 300. Normal production time is three to four weeks depending on work flow. These prices don’t include transportation costs.
