I would rather just chop the whole top off and have a vert. I would never drive it with the top up though.

Indeed it does remind me of a del Sol. I much prefer the targa top on the Supra, the Supra is a 2-seater correct?

that photoshop looks super sick. im sure olt like the idea now?? it reminds me of a supra...just a luxury version, if you will. with coupe body it just looks clean and long. im sure on the high way it would look soooo sweet from the sides...actually from every angel!! someone should definately do this. i would...but i have no money, im a student.

edit: by the way. thanks 97-sc300..that photoshop is exactly what was roaming my mind.

No, Supras are 4 seaters, but there is a big difference in the body between the two, one is a hatch and the other is a coupe, so they are not the same.

lol, I have an extra SC laying around... where did i leave that sawzall.

I think it would be easy to cut it out, but after your done its not like the piece you cut out will just drop smoothly back into place, unless its cut 100% straight.
Then theres the latches/support.
I think it would be easies to leave a bar down the middle and cut 2 t-tops.. if it had to be done. at least the bar will provide some stability for the body.
