Who has done a soft window conversion on their targa?

How did you do it? How much was it? I love the look of the soft window targas with the silver targa bars and was wondering if its possible. Thanks

Jon, I have not done it, but it's possible. I researched this several months ago (I think there are a couple of threads here on Pelican--do a search) and decided against it because it takes a lot of work and a lot of money. Every once in a while a well-preserved one comes on the market. I suggest your time would be better spent looking for an original in good condition or even a beat up one that is restorable.
