Here's a few pics of my almost completed car-

It's missing the emblems, grill, new centercaps and a few trim pieces, but here's a sneak preview.

The color is a bright bluish silver, but my digital camera was screwy and made the car look dark.

Anyway.

Thank you. I busted my *** on this thing.

Did you have t-tops before you got the targa top done? I love the look of the targa top. Good lookin car! <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

Very sweet car. You did some nice work on that one. Do you have pics of the 67? I'd also like to see the 99 with the top on.

Tough! and unique

WAY TO GO! <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

Damn I was gonna do that with my formula did u already have t-tops or was it a hard top.

dude that car is awesome...looks so good.. rims, hood everything. the GFX are ****** awesome as well....

nice car..shed some light on this targa project..i really like that idea..any chassis braces or anything or is the rumor if the car folding up on itself with no center beam a myth?

WEASEL

Looks awesome!

Is this the same car that was white and had some pics of you sawing through the t-top frame?

I had inquired into this about 6 months ago at a few bodyshops but they didn't want to get involved. Any weather problems: water leakage air wind noise? Can you get some more pic of the roof and with the top on? Also was this done to a t-top car or a hardtop? What is the targa top made of: metal roof, or what? Need more info!

Wow, that is simply badass man! It is obvious that you busted your *** on it! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Now that is a thing of beauty. What did you use to stiffen up the sub frame? I know the crossbrace for T-tops is structural.

Holy crap Chris, that came out awesome!! <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" /> That reminds me, I have all the pieces needed for my front end conversion except the hood and the bumper. I need to talk to you about doing the bumper up to allow a straight shot to the intercooler, I have a few photoshop examples (and I'll make some more) of the finished look. My wedding is April 5th and after that I should have plenty of Dough to swap in the Turbo 6 and finish the car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I have some interesting ideas on what I want to do to the roof and trunk, something I haven't seen before. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I'll call you tonight.

Chassis is stiffened via BMR boxed subframes, also welded to the entire rocker pinchweld, plus 4 extra sections of C-channel somewhat extending the subframe connectors out a few inches.

Nothing fancy.

I've been driving this car with the Targa top for about 6 months, it hasn't moved .01 inch. (measured with a 3 foot dial caliper)

The roof is made of carbon fiber, bonded to the original t-top side latches... it attatches and removes just like factory, just one piece. With the roof on , it looks like a hardtop.

Yeah, we had some pics up of me sawzalling the roof bar.

Whistler is being modest with the amount of work he put into this car. It is truly the baddest Z28 i've ever seen. <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

That being said...pictures don't really do the car justice. You have to see it in person in order to get some of the details (Hell, you would have to have someone SHOW you some of the details).
