Hit a pole and screwed up the windshield header. After pondering turning it convertible and someone pointing out that the hinges for the hatch are on the back of the t-bar, I've decided to do what all gets us jealous of the vette guys. Make it a targa top. I need ideas for how to put the targa in though, as to make it connectable from the old t-top parts, and were to go from there.

 

look up whistler....

he did it to his Fbody....looks killer

a search for targa may turn up something too

 

Ok, now that I've seen whistler's i have 1 question. Was it a t-top or a hard top car at first?

 

i think it was a ttop...not sure though...email him

 

I made my trans am turn into a targa top, and a two seater all at once...im now "A VETTE GUY"

 

shouldn't matter. Once you cut off the hardtop panel it's the same car underneath.

 

post the link to his car, i wana check this out

 

Yep I converted my hard top to t top in about 4-5 hours.

 

any pictures? the more the better!

Google is your friend. And if my engine runs again - crossing fingers - then I'm chopping my top.

 

it was a ttop he molded the ttops together to make the top for it

 

How were the t-tops "molded" together?

 

I dont know how he did it but he did and he coverd them with carbonfiber and it looks sick

 

I'm sure you've already considered that without that center brace, your fbody will have an uncanny new tendency to cave in on itself. As was already stated, you will at least need subframe connectors...

good luck!
