Default Targa Top Update 1-30-06
Hey guys,
I fnally got around to shooting some primer on the chassis part of the targa this past weekend, I just rattle canned it flat black for now to somewhat give you an idea of the look...I didn't wanna bother base and clearing it because it can get done when the body is done...I wanted to get it sealed so you could see the product roughly when it's complete, I will sand it and hit it again with some primer...I just wanted kinda hide some of the areas I did work to it so you can scratch your heads....






I have a lil sanding to do on the actual top, so I'm not revealing pics just yet....Believe it or not I should have the interior complete around mid Feb for pics for all you to enjoy...

Is this going to affect the strength and integrity of the vehicle? Isnt the body more prone to twisting now? What did you do to strengthen the body?

The roll cage does wonders, along with a set of SFC. It should be fine.
