Re: Frame?
Well, I've seen 4 roof configurations on the 4th gen F-bodies.
1) conventional
2) sunroof
3) t-tops
4) convertable.
I haven't seen a targa top yet.
I know that there are no structural differences with the first 3, but am unsure of the convertable but suspect there is(are).Now Playing: \'99 Pewter Firebird, stock, bone stock, and nothing but stock, so help me God!<br />Comming attractions: K&N Filter, Lid Mod, Intake Bellows Smooth Pipe Mod.<br />I dream about: Forced Induction (TC or SC) or NOX (or both!) -
Re: Frame?
Are sunroof's a factory option? I've never seen a 4th gen with one and did a google and didn't see one there either? Just curious

No, not from the factory. Was an aftermarket.Now Playing: \'99 Pewter Firebird, stock, bone stock, and nothing but stock, so help me God!<br />Comming attractions: K&N Filter, Lid Mod, Intake Bellows Smooth Pipe Mod.<br />I dream about: Forced Induction (TC or SC) or NOX (or both!)Comment

Re: Frame?
I have seen a targa a guy made out of a regular 4th gen hardtop so you can add that to the list.:wavey:Comment

Re: Frame?
One fine afternoon I was behind a guy in a convertible TA and the top was down. I had never actually seen body flex before, but when he went over a few bumps, right away I could tell. That thing was twisting like you wouldn't believe. I now understand why convertibles need subframe connectors.2002 Silver Firebird A4<br />T-Tops, Leather, Y87, W68, Chrome Wheels<br />Bone StockComment

I wish I had a change to see the sunroof install a bit closer to see how the headliner was modified.Now Playing: \'99 Pewter Firebird, stock, bone stock, and nothing but stock, so help me God!<br />Comming attractions: K&N Filter, Lid Mod, Intake Bellows Smooth Pipe Mod.<br />I dream about: Forced Induction (TC or SC) or NOX (or both!)Comment

Re: Frame?
how ever they did it, that car is ****ed unless they did some serious modifications. to put in a sun roof conventionally, you would have the remove the core support that goes down the middle. Some people are just dumb as dog ****.Originally posted by CDNFBComment

Re: Frame?
That's exactly what I was thinking. I bet that baby creaks and groans!you would have the remove the core support that goes down the middle.
Was it only SLP that was doing the T-Top and Convertible installations for GM, or were other companies involved?Now Playing: \'99 Pewter Firebird, stock, bone stock, and nothing but stock, so help me God!<br />Comming attractions: K&N Filter, Lid Mod, Intake Bellows Smooth Pipe Mod.<br />I dream about: Forced Induction (TC or SC) or NOX (or both!)Comment
