Jeez guys, do you go rock crawling with your F-bodies? You're not gonna feel the body of your car twisting on the road if you took out the t-bar.

This will be very unique to compare to all other Fbodies. There's only a handful of people that have done this right? I've only seen a picture of one. Vette-likeness is cool. Do have a question though. On the vettes you can store the top. Will there be room to do the same in your 'bird?

WOW Oustanding!!! Are you using a corvette targa top weather stripping? I take it that you are fabricating that top yourself.. Thats an outstanding job man. I want to do this to my car SO BAD, but dont have a quarter of the ***** to take on a project like this.

Great job again!! An example to be followed by all. :thumbup:

Lookin good so far. It's nice to see somebody actually take on this project. We often see threads about how people would like to do it, but then get scared off into never trying with the work involved, so it's cool that you're really doing it, can't wait to see it finished.

I have a WOLFE 6pt Weld-in Cage, alond with DD SFC's...I don't think the chassis is going anywhere...

Thanks for all the compliments..

Ws6Extreme we talked a while about about you doin some LED work, get in touch with me on AIM or something...

There should be room for the top yes...

Not sure what I will do for the weather stripping, Vette Targa material has crossed my mind, but I don't know...I was wondering if Whistler would chime in with what he has done for the weatherstripping...

You think this is cool just wait by Vday I should really have you guys picking one another's jaws off the ground, I should be done with the interior around then and have pics!!!

Car is cool man. I love fabricating stuff, no matter how small or large the job is. I like seeing what other people have done, and how they did it even more.

Great job man, I'm loving it.

I took the weather stripping from a T top and straightened it out. For the DS I left it as factory up front... cut it at the back, straightened it out across the front and bonded it back together on the front PS. Opposite for the other side.

Let me know if you need some of that weatherstripping... I've got a few extra sets and I'm sure I could donate some.
