I've seen a guy that did a targa top conversion to his t-top Camaro, but he did it on his own. I've not see a place that does it on it's own...

bad idea on the targa top unless you stiffen the frame. the T bar is a important piece in the structure of the car

Also that guy's Targa I believe has no roof to put back on or at least i've never seen pics of it with the roof on.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure that I have either. He'd have had to find a way to fab up the original pieces, or donor pieces together, and that would have been quite a feat...

It definetly can be done. It needs to be done by a proffesional customization shop if you want a roof that will fit back in nice and not leak on you. I was looking to do it to my 87 Stang. I very repurable shop gave me a quote of $2,200 for just the metal work. It still had to be painted after.
The pic of that Targa Camero it looks like he just cut his T-top center out and rolled his roofliner over it to make it look clean. Which anyone with a Sawzall and a extra car for rain or snow can do and make it look good..
