Granted, I don't have a clue what a "Hollywood Top" is, I know that Targa tops don't work very well, and they tend to leak a lot. Plus they absolutely kill structural stability, so it'd only be feasible in a V6. There are several shops that do T-top conversions though, if that would suite your needs. Beyond that, I always thought it would be a cool idea to tear the fiberglass skin off the roof where the T-tops would go, put in a T-top headliner, and then have a thin sheet of safety glass laid on top. You'd still have the rigidity of a hardtop, but also be able to achieve the open feeling of a t-top.

well some people what the corrvett has the removable roof they call that a TARGA TOP/HOLLYWOOD TOP it's just like a t-top but without the thing in the middle

but if you put subframe connecters and all the suspension stuff i dont think it will take any structhual integridty off of the car ? but then again i could be wrong

I have seen a couple of custom jos on fbodys, and will take away some structural integrity away from the car.

these cars come in verts... so i dont see too much of a problem with a targa... i know someone makes a kit for mustangs... you might just google "mustang targa" and see what company you get and see if they make one for a camaro...

Ever riden in a 'vert? I've been in a vert SS with SFCs, STB, and a Steel roll bar. Go up a driveway and you can watch (and see) the chassis bend. Not saying it isn't a cool idea, but for some reason or another, F-bods don't have the same sturdiness as Y-bods. I'm sure with enough steel and welding you could get things right though.
