Removable roof?? Is there a way to get the roof to b removable on an SS coupe with no T tops. Im lookin for that whole roof section to b removed from the top of the windshield to that bar that goes across, kinda like the vette roof, or that supra from fast and the furious -still dont know y i watched that movie-

I remember seeing this in a thread not too long ago, I think it's possible (well anything's possible with enough money 
). Actually I'm pretty sure I saw someone that did it. Do a search and you might find something in the thread about the photoshopped pictures of the idea. Kinda cool but alot of work for minimal gain if you already have t-tops.

I will have pics as soon as my Compressor is fixed, and I can shoot paint...It's called a Targa Top, yes it's possible, and before anyone talks about how my car is weaker now, well I have a 6pt cage, and DD SFC's

ITs been down on a non-caged car, and I have seen it in person. Looks great but storage for the roof is a little wierd(doesn't have a spot in the car for it) and well the gains aren't tooo great.
He did have subrframes, and no major structural problems from what I understood. Which is feasible, since convertables don't have problems.
The hardest part is he had to fabricate his own room from scratch. I did a search for you on Cz28.com but coulnd't find any pics that weren't down.

Thinking yes, but that's just it...You weren't thinking that the hardtop panel on top of the T-tops wouldn't follow the body line, it would make it about a 1/4" taller than the top of the windshield, and the front fo the B-Pillar....
They just replaced my whole compressor, and the unit will be here tomorrow, so I will put some long days in this week working on the car, after I get off a 12hr day @ work, and try to get some pics up for you guys....Have a lil more fabing left to do, then paint...

Wouldn't want to use just JB WELD, you would wanna use an AutoBody Epoxy IF you were to ever glue a body panel on somewhere...
