I had a 78 Cobra II as my first car. It was white with green stripes (which aren't seen much).
I just bought my daughter's first car, a 78 t-top with a V6 4 speed.
My question to you guys is: Will stock or the Tony Branda side window louvers fit a t-top? I would think they would need to be trimmed at the front to account for the targa roof. Does anyone have side window louvers on a t-top?
I am hoping that they would just fit by cutting off the first louver.
Thanks
Putter

Welcome to the forum.

You can use the side louvers with the Targa band by cutting off the first section. My brothers 74 is like that, see below:

There is a few of us on there. Cobra347 (edit-goes by "turbo 2.3" now), TurboII, a guy from Sask., and myself of course. I believe there is a couple of more closet II lovers there as well.

Posted some early pictures in Members rides thread,
Hope to have it on the road and painted black before summer.
It is a very straight car and has almost no noticeable rust. will need a rear bumper though and hope to have front and rear spoilers on before paint.
