Well anyways. I think my winter project will be turning my t-top into a full targa.

I've cut a camaro apart before, I would never remove that top bar without putting a cage in it.... T-top cars are flexy enough as it is!

I think a few people on TGO have made it so that post is removable(not always gone).

Be ready to put some extra bracing in that car like they did on the verts.

? It's no different than a 'vert. And I'd hardly call the extra vert bracing, very good. I guess the issue I see is when the targa section IS in and locked down it'd flex back and forth maybe causing sealing issues?

If you want a targa top it would be easier to get a C4 Vette. And probably cheaper.
