targa top -clear plastic-

[bonus12]

there was a thread similar to this not long ago, but it was nonetheless different. there is a late '80's early '90's 'vette parked near my house, and i couldn't help but notice it's clear plastic top. it may have been a targa, but i couldn't tell. it was tinted a dark blue/purple and looked sweet.

i want one for my sup'. do these exist? does anyone on here have one? would anyone want to start a groupbuy thing? i can prob get pics tomorrow if there is interest.

in this pic, u can barely see the top i am talking about:

[bonus12]

i think i started that thread a while ago.

and they apear to be saftey tinted glass from what i can tell.

bolt hole look like thell match up, but in not too sure. and yes, some vetts were t top and others were targa. i dont think gm called it targa but it is the same as ours.

GM used glass, and acrylic lexan, depending on the years.

At least, they did on the TTops for the Fbodies

What if WeezL could make a lexan/safety glass cover for his targa brace? (WeezL Wings)

Targa is a trademark owned by Porshe. We do not have a Targa top on the Supras. Ours is a "Sport Roof". Nowhere in Toyota's literature is it called a "Targa".

The same goes for the Vette. The Vette was available in both "T" and sport roof configurations (as well as hard top and drop top).

The Del Sol also has a sport roof.

Didnt want to spill the beans before they were cooked...but Im looking into that already. I was planning on making 2 versions of covers for the WeezWings. One will be out of canvas, and look alot like a convertable top. When not in use you can just roll it up and stow it. The second would be a hard top of some description, and I was toying with lexan or fiberglass, or a combination of the two. Anything I do wont be until winter at the earliest.

84 vette's started with a targa top that was glass.if the targa happened to get broke,the replacment is acrylic.replaced a few in my day.

I would *love* a Lexan Targa, as long as I had some sort of cloth/vinyl/fiberglass/whatever shield I could put in from the inside, for those hot ass Florida summer days

 

[boost fiend]

im still on a hunt to make this work.

if all starts to go well, i plan to make a thread for it. maybe even make a few extra for the other targa fella's out there!!!

 

[tea_mkIII]

i would def be into one of these or a carbon fiber one...everyone was talking about that before duane got the shortage and all....either one would be worth buying.

Still looking for resources for this. I have ZERO experience with Lexan and only a little bit more than that with Fiberglass. Too be honest I wouldnt expect anything like this out of me until after I have shipped a bunch more 'Wings. I would say were talking at least 3 months for me to get a commercially acceptable product.

Especially where a brace is involved, a Lexan cover would be ideal. Tinted even moreso...
My basic idea if I ever get a targa supra, is to make myself a brace, much like the one that ProjectSupra made, a molded Lexan/acrylic cover, and attaches with Dzus Fasteners.

Hmm interesting bit of information.

Lexan top would be sweet, like a full span moonroof.

 

[bonus12]

the prospect of a tinted lexan 'sport roof' is absolutely sweet. i would buy one that, if necessarry, matches a black sup'!
