Hello All,
I seem to recall that someone on the site was fabbing steel targa tops, but my searches have come up empty. Is anyone out there selling steel targa tops? Thanks. |

Sure - but a lot less of it than going from a flat sheet w/ no structure - it seems like a head start to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . |

I’m no fabricator but I’m not sure I would agree with you. The targa top actually has some subtle but complex shapes going on and might be quite different from the rear trunk shape. So changing that shape with the trunk ribs already in place might be quite difficult and maybe not very effective. Sometimes it’s easier to start from scratch and duplicate the original structure rather than trying to adapt some other part. At least the 944 top is a top. Lay the trunk lid on top of the car and see if it looks like a top. I’m not feeling it. I thought $3600-4k was high for a steel top until Ben told me he thought it was reasonably priced. He is a welding and fab expert and careful with his money. If he’s telling me it’s a good deal for what it is, I’m going to believe it. |
