Targa Top On The Way!!!, any suport ideas? Options

[blaque_6thGen]

Hey guys, guess what! I am actually going to get a targa top for my ST! I already spoke to the guy that is going to be doing my bodywork and he said that I could do it, I just needed to make sure that I got some kind of support on the underside of the car to make sure that the car doesn't bend due to the lack of support (especeially since its a hatch). He kind of implied that I souhld look for it myself and he would help me put it on, I'm just not sure where I would get something like that or if I am able to to have someone make some kind of brace out of material similar to roll cage piping.

I asked him if a roll cage would do the trick. He said that it would help but it would not give me the complete support that I will need.

Do you guys have any ideas?

Thanks!!

some friends recommended that i go to a place that does custom cages for truck chassis and i could get a whole lot done there support wise (they would weld a big X on the bottom of the chassis). My friends also then told me that if i do follow through, i should make it strictly show because all of the abuse from racing will make the chassis bend either way. as far as i know the kit for the top is going to be about a grand and i believe that the labor will be about the same. so with everything, i'm projecting about $2,500.
