I don't have any sag problems but since I have a V-8 my feeling is to go with a cage. This is a street car, so I may only tie in the rear shock tower for now.

"supposedly if you took a plumb-bob and went from the top of the windshield frame where it meets the targa top (middle of the car) and go straight down, that is roughly the spot....I was thinking you could lay on some spackling or something simliar, let it dry on the longs and do some quick and dirty tests to see where it cracks the most"

Mueller
I did look where that spot, it looks like a thin transitional area. The use sparkle is a good idea. I want to give this car a little more structure.


JP,
Nice work, that cars not going to sag (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
