Between $3000-$4000 when all said and done, but I'm trying not to add it up. I've been shopping my butt off

I got a hell of a deal on the clear targa panel, and forum member ajg915 sold me all the coup trim and hardware I needed stupid cheap and even drove down here from PA to deliver it and check out the project!

The paint shop is cutting me a killer deal as I agreed to hand out business cards for them at all the local shows, post their link in my sigs on the forums, and run a banner for their shop this summer in my back glass.

If I were to just send it to Caravaggio I'd be looking at $15k when all doen maybe more... pays to search out used parts and do your own work. The work Caravaggio does is oem quality and worth every penny.

Yes, he sure does... his help has been invaluable. Without his shop space, tools, and know how I could have never done this w/o sending it off to Caravaggio.

I've been following the targa conversion with my tongue hanging out of my mouth. Perhaps you could put together a write up procedure for us diy'ers with sawzalls

I'm going to take it for a blast down the road when I put a seat back in it to load it up on the trailer to take it to the painters

Got my targa top in today!

^ Haha... I know I know. A local car buddy just lost his clear top on his '08 C6. It was his first Corvette and I'm sure he'll never do that again.
