We've had a heat wave recently, and my TC has been running hot the past few days. I just happened to take a peek inside the grill, and noticed the hood insulation is hanging down a bit and blocking some of the aiflow. Any tips on how to fix it?

You may notice one or more of the big round black things that used to be there to hold the insulation in place are gone. Go to the NAPA store and show them what you need. Be sure to chop off the point on the plastic "Christmas tree" so the part that goes into the hole is too short to touch the top of the hood but long enough to hold the insulation to the hood frame. If you don't trim off the point, you will have annoying little bumps in the hood that you wonder how they got there. Good Luck Mike
The last of the special built pedal cars will be going up for sale at the RM Auctions in Scottsdale in January. Built by the renown restorer Fran Roxas, this "Dusey" is truly is another work of art.
