I would love to targa my SS
lol
targa has been a dream since little and to combine with the car i love....too much
can we photo shop any of these to see???
Anyone ever heard of anyone doing this?





















thanks for any help

 

Im pretty sure there was some kind of pink targa top ss, But it was strictly for show. The think cutting the roof off and making a targa would make for an unsafe amount of body flex

 

ok there has been a pink one that i have seen on here but i think it was just a show car as our car is uni body it would probably not be strong for it

 

Probably something you dont wanna do to a brand new car lol

 

i agree, but since the ole targa supra......it woud be sweet

 

My brother and I unfortenately did the same thing to his 99 Mustang. They actually make a kit for his car...we had to restructure the bottom end to handle the flex and it seems to be alright for flex but he really regrets it...lots of work and its still not finished (did it 2 years ago)...

I think it would look great on the balt but it will cause problems....

 

i looked into doing this the guy i went to specialized in doing crazy **** like this he said he wont do it on my car cause its not strong enough

 

you could T-top it, but then youd have to grow a mullet.

 

nice
mullett mod

 

sweet idea...........engineering disaster..........u can still do it though......just cant drive the balt lol

 

Targa doesn't = T top.

 

count me out then...lol....just a thought.......maybe there would be some hardcore companies out there that were doin crazy **** like this

 

maybe ill experiment with my moms '08 LS

 

nice.......
take pics
hehehehehe
i thought i may still have got a photoshop dealio outta this
maybe its too hard with the angles i have....no straight on shots

 

im sure the photoshop gurus will find this thread eventually

btw nice choice on the white.......its the best color

 

You could do it as show only and trailer the car around, but the body flex would be rediculous and tweak the car way too much to do it for a car you wanna drive.
here's the pic:

 

i believe that it would **** up the car bad but i was thinkn it would look sick........not in pink

 

To do it on a more modern uni-body car, You would reeally need to do it on a car that also comes in convertable styles. Like mitsubishi eclipse/spider, Ford mustang, etc. They have a stiffer body by design to allow for convertable models or aftermarket targa.

A cobalt isn't built to not have a solid roof and still be driven.

 

The roof is too critical to the structure of the car. If you cut the roof off, your car will have the crash sturdiness of aluminum foil.

i woudnt do this, but in theory, couldnt you have a rollcage welded to the frame in order to replace the structural rigidity the roof offered?

 

Well... Yeah, but then you lose the targa top effect by having those two roll cage bars there.

 

Sounds like a good idea but after seeing that pink one it looks hideous. The windshield is too big for it.

 

throw in a bigger roll cage to make up for the loss in stiffness and cut away

 

Gonna be really difficult with the doors on the Cobalt. They're not like other targa or T-top cars, like supra's and firebirds. The cobalt has the door surround which the glass slides up into. You would have to re-construct the doors so you could shut the door with the window up.
