The roof has spots that it was bonded together with lead to attatch it and I think a couple of spot welds. It looks like that is what was done with that roof. The lead heated up and striped out. Not sure on the spot welds but I am sure there is at least one on each corner to hold it on. www.eastwoodco.comsells lead soldering videos and kits to reattatch it correctly.

Targa Top would look kick *** and different. Never seen one with a fox. And no I havn't ever used the lead or plastic filler. I don't have the money or the time to do that with mine right now.

this one below looks like it came off without cutting.
what would it involve to take one off? just unscrewing bolts or cutting too?
