The t-bar section of the roof (and also on hard-top models) are an integral part of the structure. It would seriously weaken the integrity of your chassis if you cut out the bar.

Convertables have a ton of pig iron welded to the bottom of the car in an attempt to compensate for the lack of the t-bar.

i've seen a few pictures of some guy's camaro that he converted to a targa top, it looked awesome. i'm sure if you search you can find it, sounds like an expensive mod though

That may have been Whistler, who lives in the Orlando area. He had a Camaro a few years ago which had the targa roof, 20" wheels, and a custom paint job - I think the paint was Ferrari titanium something-or-other. The engine and drivetrain was sold a couple of years ago and I don't know what happened to the rest of the car. It was sitting in his driveway for a LONG time.

Would it make a diffrence if you got SFC and some other mods to help the chasis or would it not matter at all and can anyone find a insturction im leaning just to convert it to a t-top since im guessing the targa would be 1000+ where the t-top is only about 400 for everything if you do it yourself which i hear isnt hard

SFC'S and a rollbar might help a little...that's if you even want a rollbar in your car.

How doe the vettes get away with the targa top and it not affecting the structure all that much?

The 'Vette is built with the targa top in mind. The f-body wasn't hatched that way. Simple matter of design.
