T-tops?

jtlogruss08 · May 9th, 2007, 10:34 PM

what do u think about t-tops on a mustang anyone?

Bies08 · May 9th, 2007, 10:36 PM

um...might leak...i heard of people puttin sunroofs in and they leaked. but i coudl imagine that it'd be a pretty good amount of money

JASonic · May 9th, 2007, 10:38 PM

I dont think Ive ever seen a Mustang with t-tops. Lots of sunroofs but never a t-top. They dont make that a stock option do they? Only aftermarket??

Bies08 · May 9th, 2007, 10:39 PM

no they dont make stock option. you'd have to get it aftermarket...but more power to you man..i'd like to see how i'd look tho...

jtlogruss08 · May 9th, 2007, 10:39 PM

well if you know what your doing and can get it to fit snug it would work but it would be alot of custom fab

i would have someone who deals with that kinda stuff do it, i woudlnt want to tackle that project myself then come to find out that i fucked it up....haha

jtlogruss08 · May 9th, 2007, 10:41 PM

they did actually make t top mustangs but it was only in one year of production

GreenFaleen · May 9th, 2007, 10:42 PM

they look good if done right

JASonic · May 9th, 2007, 10:46 PM

It would be unique as hell. Dont you think it would be tough to do with the amount of curve on the top of the side windows? Well probably not now that I think of it... Ive seen a VW bug with Ts and that window is real curved.

jtlogruss08 · May 9th, 2007, 10:56 PM

well yea but if you look a cameros the have a pretty good arch to on the roof you could probably very carefully cut out the piece then weld brackets for latches to hold it on and add the weather stripping but i was thinking it might have to be rienforced at the top just in case if the car rolled

In my vert, if I roll that thing Im real worried. There doesnt seem to be much support. Im sure its designed different though and has to pass some kind of test. In fact, I looked at a lightbar thinking that would make me feel better and found out they were for "cosmetics" only. I think there may be extra reinforcement around my windshield for rollover.

Your probably right though, I'd find a way to reinforce it or put some kind of fabricated roll bar in there somehow.

yea the best thing with the droptops is to have a rollbar welded right behind the head rest like alot of droptop bmrs have

hey guys, mustang had t-tops as an options in 1982 trough early 1988. they are rare actually, but the rarest are the '88. I'm a proud owner of an 1987 gt cobra (which is only one color body, not to mix with the 1993 cobra)

Ive seen a Targa top Mustang done

Onemanzu · May 23rd, 2007, 01:24 AM

yea i was about to say check out targa might be a better cooler investment then t-tops

then you could go paul walker on us and ditch the top while speeding after a semi trying to save the no name side kick firgure named lance
