    The 'Velle sat underneath Douglas Fir trees for an easy 15 years, plus was abused like a red-headed stepchild.

    Your replicating a concept car! See the link for a picture of the solid rear pillar.

    I think it looks sharp as hell.

    Been a while since I had looked at the Mag/Mir concept...only difference I see so far (besides the beauty factor, lol) is that the concept still uses the roof trim bars. I'm going for the bigger quarter-window look in the back. I am insanely jealous after looking in that interior, however...clock, clean plastics, great-looking trim...

    Or even a nice sunroof?...it would kind of go good with that era of car.
    My way of joking is to tell the truth. It's the funniest joke in the world.

    LSX TV just had an article on a company doing T's for the New Camaro. Here is the link: http://www.lsxtv.com/news/drop-top-c...10-11-camaros/

    Re: Remy's '81 Mirada CMX

    I'd go dual mini-sun roofs up front, and a big single in the back.




    Just to keep it unique of course. And period correct.






    Kidding, just kidding! Doesn't look as bad in pictures as it could or should be..... our Landeau topped Malibu had me worried, but wasn't awful once the vinyl was gone. Can't wait to see how this comes out.

    Whether you can or can't, you are usually right.<a href=http://www.bangshift.com/forum/image.php?type=sigpic&userid=1712&dateline=1303310375 target=_blank>http://www.bangshift.com/forum/image...ine=1303310375</a>

    targa would be pretty cool - however, you'd have the same problem you have now - no donor roof. When you cut the targa out, you need a larger piece to fill/cover the hole. I did it to a customer's 40 ford coupe many moons ago.....

    t-top, you need a donor car top with approximately the same radius side-to-side.... maybe an old cordoba? monte carlo? 2nd gen camaro?... dunno, would require a careful search/measuring....
