I go for Targa for two reasons. Look's much nicer, and much easier to do. Convertible version look's a lot more complex to get it to look right.

I vote Targa. I prefer the look of it to the other one. I'm a factory stock modeler and the targa looks more "factory correct". Also, it seems to be easier to do as previously stated.

Thanks,

ok, cool! thank you for the reply and the vote! and yeah, i know it looks more factory correct, thats something i was trying to shot for. but i didn't have a clue on witch to build it as, but so far, this looks like its favoring the targa more! LOL

Thank you everyone!

Targa's are way easier to do than convert's. Just get two nice lines drawn in, and carefully cut it off and your done! I'd get some plastic of same thickness though, and make the removable top. Some times the removable top is flat black, other times it's color-matched. If your really good, you could make little tiny mounting tabs! I've often thought of doing some targa conversions myself.

The Targa definitely has the right look. Although the side shot you have of the spider looks great. Once you get up top though it looks cobbled together.

The Targa reminds me of the Jalpa's(Silhoutte) too.

Voted Targa.

Targa for sure. The Spyder looks nasty...and not in a good way Plus the Targa will be much easier to complete successfully.

yeah. and ok, well thats the plan, lol! and a removable top sounds cool! thank you for the idea, now i am planning on doing that! and i think im going to color-match it to the body! and mounting tabs, hum that will take a little work, lol!

Thank you for the replies and votes!
