Goes beyond that.  Cut the top sheet metal off a GT6, and you will find the 
brackets for the convertable top.  The windshield frame itself is identical 
between the cars.  To make the GT6, they simply welded sheet metal on instead 
of bolting on the convertable top.

Ok, I get it.  Sorry, I just read it as GT6 on both.  Same year spit and
GT6 share the same windshield, but not all years share the same.

Thanks,

Brad
