Anyone know if the steel roof panel could have been purchased at one time or another to "convert" a targa topped car to a solid roof ??

I recalled seeing & reading a British mag, 911 or Porsche something, and there was a good article and pictures of a guy fabricated steel roof for someone's 914. He had to make nine different pieces by hand before he could weld all of them together to make a complete roof. The quailty looked very good by looking at the pictures but what's on top of the weld beads, I dunno...bondo? lead? But it looked real good and just like the 916!
I've been toying with the idea of doing it myself but I could never find that stupid magazine a month later only to learn the new issues had been put up on the rack....damn it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) j |
