actually it would hurt the exterior look. All you have to do is look at pictures of a 1st Gen with all four windows down. Their open front to back. It gives the car a really nice effect that a B pillar would take away. The only line I would want there would be a roll bar if it were a track car.

You have a 4th Gen F-body with a trunk? Better hold on to that one, it will be collectible one of these days.

Jim the Nomad is right. The T-top came along when there were no convertibles to fill the void. We have the verts back so this car doesn't need a t-top and it probably would be an engineering nightmare with those long windows and no b-pillar. There would be almost no roof structure to support the car and you talk about weight, with the structural reinforcements that would be needed to replace the missing roof panels, WOW. I love the T-top on my 3rd gen IROC but they wouldn't look right on this car. BUT GIVE ME THOSE LONG SIDE WINDOWS, NOOOOOOO B PILLAR, AND THAT SEXXXY CHOPPED ROOF BABY!

All I need to do is walk out to my garage...I own a 1969 RS/SS Pro Touring....



I simply meant that as in many vehicles, pillars are hidden due to the glass covering them from the outside....but I would gladly give up T-tops for a no B pillar design......

My convertible has a trunk. I have never seen a hatchback convertible.



It doesn't need t-tops, but I think the t-tops sales on the 4th gen show that many people much prefer the t-tops to a full blown vert.

NICE! I got a 69 350 2BBL but obviously its nowhere near as nice as that. Id give up no T-Top to ditch the B Pillar.

Beautiful car Mr. Harden, and the BEST color combo IMO, I have a 69 Lemans sport coupe myself.

NIIIIIIIICE!!!!

17"x9" all the way around with a 4th gen offset & wheels spacers....245/ 45/17 in front and 275/40/17 in back. I had to trim the wheel lip a little in the back and the wheels hit the front sway bar at full lock, but that's because it's a Hotchkis 1 1/8" bar and not stock. I lowered the car with QA-1 coil overs in the front and blocks in the rear.

"Praise the lowered"....

**5th gen content** I still wish they would have done a concept with the fender sweeps though...but it truly would have been more retro.....so I won't complain too much.
