looks real good. nicely pulled off. hard to make a targa work but it appears to do so.

here is the link to spacers I use. these are the best so dont be afraid of them

I have always wanted a traga first gen. I'd love to see how they made yours.

Not too fond of that WB kit, but that's one good looking clean car. Congrats!

convertible reinforcement

hi chris,
Congrats on a great car.
When u post some pics, we can compare reinforcement ideas.
i also have the same mariah hood - complete w prerequisite cracks and am looking in to a carbon fiber look alike

I have a pacific avatar mariah widebody, which has undercarriage and all the other PA reinforcements.
I installed the re-speed power steering , from Billy and it has a super front reinforcement.
I will be working on other reinforcements if needed.
post some pics, when u can

You're not kidding about the wide part. Did the Camaro steal a hood from the RX-7 or is that a later aftermarket deal?
