I know that Whistler did it on his and I'd contemplated doing it when I get another Fbody.
I don't see why you couldn't take the hardtop section from a wrecked car and graft on the Ttop latches so that it would fit.

thats what i as thinking. use the t-top latches off/ends, maybe run some tubing across the inside for reinforcement, and clean up the window/hatch sides. there is a mustang kit that does that where they use billet slats across the window/hatch area...

Its been done before, but just realize that your gona loose chassis stiffness. Also realize that you also loose some saftey if the car was involved in an accident.

Well if your cage isn't flush with or under the front of the T bar roof, it would be noticable. Normally the cage wont be the first thing seen with a Targa.
