BXX Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) Pretty simple, aftermarket sunroof install was bad, roof panel is pretty much trashed and collapsed. So I figure why just replace the panel when I can add some more effort and make it different:thumbsup: Take into account with Option 1, I dont want a sunroof car as I would be left with scraps of busted sunroof assemblies from the junkard, and getting a new one installed would easily exceed $1000 to have one done properly after I replace the entire panel with a un-damaged one Edited June 13, 2011 by BXX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BXX Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 lol. option 5. bob strips the tgp and sells it because he runs out of "interest" ?... i don't see that option. I have full complete interest in this one. Last one, living situation got in the way. Im leaning towards Targa Top. Although T-top might be easier if F-body panels follow the roof curve closely. Chassis regidity isnt an issue. Rockers and unibody rails are getting reinforced no matter what. Car will prolly sport a 8-point cage (no halo bars) so Vert option is kinda the least likey. However vote away, cause the winner is what will happen to the car:thumbsup: Ill prolly be ready to start on it within a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Regardless of the available poll options, replacing with an OEM sunroof roof panel would be the best open top option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twenty Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Keep it 'original' TGP, either with or without a sunroof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 No matter what option, the roof HAS to be replaced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych0matt Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 i think targa would look the best, and probably be easier than t tops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I can't imagine t-tops looking good at all.....how do you plan on making the doors "work" cosmetically with any of the options other than replacing with stock ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically they would be modified the same way Vert doors were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BXX Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 After this the TT LT1 goes in Im sorry, I dont even see you attempting to do anything to your rides:thumbsup: The past is the past. I think we over that:thumbsup: Im damn near tempted to go RWD, but a proper rear Diff and custom axles isnt in the budget. I have nothing but time to burn on this car guys. Thats why im wanting to do a top mod with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMan Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I think a T-top would be a great, and different, way to go. That's my vote! Or get REALLY crazy and go for gull-wing doors on a modified stock replacement roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych0matt Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 just do similar to a targa top, but leave the doors alone. Basically, a giant sunroof panel that you can pop in and out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it wont be hard to copy what was done on the vert doors, since I have one to compare anytime I start scratching my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
