i spent about $300 for parts (t-tops, pillars, weather strips, black center piece) and rental for the sawzall. do a search for ttop conversion and you should find instructions on how to do it yourself.

Just to avoid misconception, the term t-top is short for targa top. When GM introduced the targa top into the 1968 Corvette, the bar was added to combat the body flex that resulted (which onefastfox knows about because he did ask about beefing up the frame for a pure targa).

What we look at and refer to on F-Bodies is a GM targa top. While a lot of people think that the t-top is a seperate entity, enthusiasts who know where the term came from can take it both ways. Someone who leaves their Camaro at a shop to get a targa top installed may very well end up with the standard two removable panels if specifics aren't discussed.

Just thought I would throw that out there. In answer to the original question with some very careful thought about the body flex a one piece targa could be done but it would probably be quite a bit of expense to do and do correctly.

I believe Whistler did a Targa top conversion on his camaro. I think he use to post on CamaroZ28.com, but im not sure, i remember seeing pics of it though and i thought it looked amazing.

onefastfox

so what do you think i would pay someone or a shop to do this??

I agree! It looked fantastic and gives a much more open feeling when removed. Less places to leak as well since there is no center bar.

IF mine wasn't a vert, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Loved my Targa on the 87 vette

Good luck

a guy named whistler did do the 1 piece targa. it was very tight! do a search on here and you can find it he used to post on here. hes the only other person i ever saw that did major custom bodymods on a forth gen. he did a lot of crazy bodymods including a molded c5 taillight conversion.

a targa top camaro would be very cool I think, but I'd be worried about Flexing issues.

i found some pics here is a pic of whistlers C5 taillight panel for the f-bodies
Enjoy the pics, also i believe he posts over here as a different name though.



Here is some of Whistlers Targa Top Conversion, he also did a custom ground effect kit, and i believe he made the hood also, the car is beautiful.
