I really like the changes you've done. Nice work! Any concerns about structural integrity with the t-top bar cut out?

I made some subframe connectors for under the car that I welded in.

That thing is gonna look mean when finished. Good job OP with it. How hard was the targa top, did you start with a t-top car? I want to do this to my coupe.

Thanks for the comments guys. No it wasnt a trip when I started, it was a hard top. It wasn't to hard, but it is a lot of work.

so it started out as a formula or firebird? i didnt think trans ams came as hardtops, and if they did, they are rare.
and i bet that mecham hood took alot of work also. you going to fill in the rear pontiac letters on the bumper?

What are you using for the top? The original roof skin?

It started life as a firebird. I'm using the original roof skin, just reinforced so its not so flimsy, so the targa top is fully functional not just for show. And yea that mecham hood took a lot of work to get it straight and to line up.

Any reason why you built your SFC? They look good.

I built them because I needed to make sure they were really sturdy. I didn't want the body to flex at all cause of the cut top, so I built mine out of 2.5x1.5" rectangular tubing.
