There's two FBodies that I know of that have done the Targa Top. Whisler is by far the most famus and the other one is a guy with a Formula in the midwest section of LS1Tech.com. I'll try to find it.

Black Bowtie of camaroz28.com has done it and lives in Orlando. But he never seemed to respond to any of my emails or messages . But his car is bad ***!! Love to know what he did. I have all of his pics in my Documents folder.

The hardest part seems to be on how to do a roof thats strong, and goes all the way across. The easiest part is cutting the bar in the middle and adding the rubber tubing all the way down.

I'd love to have my t-top glass connected in the middle, but have no idea how to connect it and keep it from folding.

I think Black Bowtie owns it. His real name is a mystery, lol.

that would be good looking i would love to do that but it would be way to hard since i dont even have a t top and im not gonna cut out my whole roof lol. but if u try it then good luck and that would be nice if the corvette top worked it would make the job alot easier.

I found the guy on LS1Tech.com that did it.

Check out both links for pictures. He's waiting until the car's completely done with all his mods before he posts good pictures.

Um no. You need subframe connectors for sure, and a full cage would be suggested. Not worth it in my opinion. Believe me I have done a lot of research on it. Just wait until the doors sage, ripples in the rear quarters, welds start popping on the subframe, etc. While it does look great, the car really only becomes a parts car in a couple of years. Leave the brace in and call it a day.
