light searching, didnt find much, notting at all in this site
THIS WILL BE FOR INSTRUCTIONAL PURPOSE So the idea of T-Tops hate it or love it Ive read of the consequence not lookin for lextures on structural integrity guys como lets just talk about wheter its a cool idea or not Lets forget about money and specifics of physics and focus on wheter it would be a cool look or not   so cool or not i will do this regardless of whatever anyone thinks This post has been edited by LimitedGT4: Jul 15, 2011 - 4:53 PM |

I personally love the idea, and would give it something no one else has.
As far as practicality, and work involved (or money if ur rich  ) I dont think its worth it.But hey if your trying either way all the luck to you, I hope it can be done easy for your sake  GL

I think his car had a moonroof and he put a carbon fiber plug in the hole to save weight. I say screw T Tops. If you're cutting your roof, go all the way for a Targa top.

hahaha
to do this cheap as possible without reinventing the wheel 1. get a convertible 2. get a wrecked coupe.. the convertible body is already reinforced, its a no brainer.. the coupe will need to have the rear or whole top roof cut off and reweld it into the vert.. then have fun and experiment whether you want a targa top or t-top... or a removable hard-top... have fun expeimenting... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

Oh wait a minute... its already been made..... not funny and y would i try to make sumtin thats already been made that makes no sense, plus y would anyone take a convertible and give it a roof? thats just dumb and not funny QUOTE (njccmd2002 @ Jul 17, 2011 - 1:18 AM) hahaha to do this cheap as possible without reinventing the wheel 1. get a convertible 2. get a wrecked coupe.. the convertible body is already reinforced, its a no brainer.. no brain at all you need to reinforce the roof the coupe will need to have the rear or whole top roof cut off and reweld it into the vert.. then have fun and experiment whether you want a targa top or t-top... or a removable hard-top... and no one said removable hard top and if it was a removable hard top am pretty positive thats probably been done also have fun expeimenting... thats actually ALOT more expensive as now youll need to reweld a whole lot more and possibly have to do some custom work as am pretty sure the hatch and the vert have very different roofs and supports so a big nono QUOTE (Hanyo @ Jul 17, 2011 - 1:22 AM) QUOTE (njccmd2002 @ Jul 16, 2011 - 11:18 PM) hahaha to do this cheap as possible without reinventing the wheel 1. get a convertible 2. get a wrecked coupe.. the convertible body is already reinforced, its a no brainer.. the coupe will need to have the rear or whole top roof cut off and reweld it into the vert.. then have fun and experiment whether you want a targa top or t-top... or a removable hard-top... have fun expeimenting... +1 -5 to you my friend as you have no ambition to do something awesome lol j/k |
