I'M THINKING OF GETTING A T TOP ON MY 98' GT, WOULD I HAVE ANY PROBLEMS? WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT IT?

ChrisJ · November 20th, 2006, 10:07 AM

I take it you ar a very good fabricator or you have deep pockets...

Wow, that Cobra with the Targa top is awesome. And the picture where the turbo is coming out the side scoop.. that's pretty rad.

I bet that's not cheap to have them do that. Still suprising they don't put sunroofs in stangs, i heard because they want you to buy the drop top.. but i want a sun roof.

Targa looks awesome on almost any car, but honestly, unless your loaded, your probably looking at more work and money than you want to. An improperly done targa on a car that wasn't built for it results in a wreck and really hurt it's structural integrity. Your going to see warping and sagging all over the place if you don't reinforce the structuring correctly.

Get this done by some incredible professionals and sell your first born son's manhood, because it's a huge investment your going to be making on the car. If your doing this yourself on your daily driver, pick up a spare GT. I'd be way too afraid to hack it apart. Your going to need to know the car inside and out, and understand exactly where to support everything.

Good luck, if you pull this off you should give Chip Foose a call and ask about a job position. I really think it would look cool, but unless your Jesus' hand picked fabrication, you might want to re-think hacking apart the weekend warrior.

If it's done well, I'll send you the bottle of Dom P to break over the targa top like it was a new ship, because both you'd deserve it.
