Default Question about FRC
Anyone know if it is possible to make an FRC into a vert? Is it even possible?

Absolutely. It's been done MANY times over and results are factory OEM looking.

It is possible. I know Caravaggio does it, but it's probably $$$$. Not sure who else does.

The vert is kinda cool,,But personally I like the targa conversion better!!You get the open air feeling but STILL retain the character and lines of the FRC!! For the money just buy a vert if thats what you want. A targa FRC is unique and distinctive,,not to mention Cool!!
