Scott; I believe JPS offers them as an option. Glaspar was another name to look for. I have seen a couple offered on EBay. They go for a couple of hundred to 2-2.5K depending on condition.
Scott: if you search under "removable hardtop", I think you'll find a few discussions on this. JPS has two tops, one for about $2K, the other for $3.5K. They have different levels of attractiveness/ease of removal. IM also sell one and I think Chesil (in the UK) are working on a new one, having been dissatisfied with their old one. There may be others.
I don't have any experience of them myself, outside of research I've done on this site and with manufacturers, but Stan Galat, a senior member of this site, has expressed the view, as I recall, that it is unwise to purchase a hardtop other than at the time when you have the car built. He certainly appears to have had difficulties getting his anything close to weathertight.
Good luck
John.

This is just a direct answer to the question, not a commercial endorsement ... Fibersteel makes both the originals (from the originals) and also less expensive ones with the same look minus trim and window bits which fit our cars:

The guy, Russ Rodriguez, is great and doesn't look down his nose at replica car owners at all. He worked with me to modify his chrome trimmed stuff for the different geometry of my CMC in a process that involved string and measuring tape over the phone. He did not seem to be in business just to make a buck by any means.
Great guy. Also of interest, he was directly affected by the fires in San Diego two years ago. I don't know to what extent, but that was the timeframe during which I spoke to him.
