Kopp, May be best next time to start a new thread, but since you've reopened this old one, here are a few photos of what JohnZ mentioned. I just did this recently on a '59 that was originally hard top only.

The car was bought in 1964 with 2 tops, but the present owner was never aware it was HT only until I pointed out some clues. Scala list. It was missing the 'pieplates' and had a very rough cut decklid for the latches. Someone in the past installed a soft top, but didn't install all of the necessary supports. The large 'pieplates' are available in reproduction, as are all brackets and complete frame.

You have to remove the seatbelt brackets on the floor, then install the pieplates, then reinstall the brackets. You may have to open the mount holes in the fiberglass for the upper brackets. Behind them are threaded captive nuts in the horizontal reinforcement, which runs from left to right behind the seats. Note those are all 3/8 SAE fine thread.

Recommend you clean the threads in them but be careful near the inners as the gas tank is close to them. Also note the upper outer brackets have a hole for a 1/4-20 bolt to attach to the body, but since yours was Hardtop only, it will not have a bonded in Tee-nut to attach. You just leave that bolt out on each side.
