T-Tops anyone?

I've also seen the 1G gullwing cars

My dads corvette has a targa top made of glass, and it has tons of cracks in it from flexing with the car... scary!

Travis, you're wrong...I think you're captain blanko here...:)

The only thing wrong with what Dre did is that you really loose a lot of strutural rigidity by discontinuing the roof.  The roll cage helps, but it's not something you'd want to do especially when the chassis is trying to contain 500 Whp!!!!

Yes, I've seen pictures of european market targa tops.

Any old collision body shop won't know the first thing about a mod like that.    Try finding some hot rod places, the kind of places that can chop, channel and section an old lead sled and french in the lights and antennaes, a real autobody customizing shop.
