I'd like to do a steel/fixed hardtop on one of my cars. Probably the Subaru conversion. It's been done before so I know time and money will get me one. I'm wondering if I can go a slightly different angle on the mod.
Weld in steel stiffeners front to back. Lay a slightly modified oem targa top over the stiffeners. Leave enough room at the front to bond the lip of the targa top into the window frame channel and bolt and bond the top and the steel stiffeners together. Thoughts? (I just gave Pat Garvey a migraine) |

No reason why you can't do it. Corvettes are bonded to a sheet metal sub structure. My flares are bonded on to my fenders and have been since 1992 with no issues. Watch a couple videos on bonding fibre glas to steel and go for it. Everyone always thinks my flares are steel. In the early years I didn't have the internet and wasn't aware you could get factory parts from the dealer. Up here no one was driving or working on Porsches.
