Targa Band
#28
The dual antennas are for diversity tuning of the radio, for better reception. Here's a picture of the one-piece targa band that was a dealer-installed item on SA models. I like the one-piece units better than the three-piece units for their clean appearance.

Your car looks very tight...really a great job. One question...the underside of your hood looks suspiciously like the NACA ducts were added. I thought the Mariah NACA ducts were a total hood replacement. Those look like fibreglass add-ons.
How did you do it...or am I seeing things?
The CPRacing duct interests me also...but I don't see how you feather fiberglass into steel and deal with the underside supports. I have a great candidate hood for this (one nasty ding, right in the middle, otherwise perfect), and so I have been thinking about a duct.
Thanks,

...94% correct.
you don't feather fiber glass when bonding it to steel. typically whatever is being added is allowed to harden off the vehicle and then is tapped and riveted onto the car...the areas that contact are coated with resin and a thin layer of fiberglass for bonding purposes. Then the edge and taps are seamed with bondo. Bondo adheres to steel and fiberglass...fiberglass, however, does not adhere to steel.

And no offense RotativoRx7, it wasn't even a good reply either. :zing:
No seriously, a TARGA* band could be painted. I almost considered that a few weeks ago. Maybe that'll tie you over until you find one.

(A targe is a Celtic wood shield... wtf are you talking about?)
