First step is take top to auto glass shop to have portal windows removed and rear window removed they have the tools nessiary to cut out portal windows. Their are plenty of replacement vinyl tops replacement shops. Don't get vinyl top though. Get. The micro fiber material has a much more
luxurious look not shiney look of vinyl. And schould last considerably longer mine has been on for 7 years and looks brand new. Email me at mrk813@charter.net if you have any further questions mike key

Hey Mike, How do you like having side pipes. Do they have a good sound.
Love the look, but the sound is from original pipes with modified mufflers. The pipes shown in these pictures have only one turnout. I have changed the pipes to two turn outs , looks fantastic. Three of my cars have custom made shields, all custom weilded with dual turnouts on single pipes. Originally we're hooked up but wore out chrome within short peroid. Can be hooked up live. Or with cut outs . Very expensive for constant replacement. Will post better picture within week. Of all cars

You may want to consider applying a micro-fabric cloth to your hardtop like I did here:
I have a total of 6 TC's and this was a great solution for style and function to inter-change with my various colors. ESPECIALLY in the winter months
The porthole glass also have LED lights set inside which would not be possible with the standard ragtop.
Maintainance-wise I've had 7 years of drive-time on this micro-fiber/hardtop hybrid.

forgot to mention i also checked on sun roof on a extra top i purchased. and was in formed at three different stores tht sun roof are hard to seal because of fiberglass material of top. so i took out the all the windows and had it recovered with black velvet micro fiber cloth so i can change the look of any of my tc's. 4tc's 5 hard tops 4 convertable tops = 20? different looks never was any good at math. also hooked up two lift's in garage to avoid a divorce now i can change look of my tc's myselef.

have worked on the tops of three of my tc's. the top inside has foam ruber glued to the fiber glass tops for inproved sound insulation. and supended floating and glued to the side top. i have replaced some of the foam with 3/4 inch insulation and reglued sides of top when it has come loose from the wind. looks and works fine. email me if you need to know how to take apart for mending mrk813@charter.net

at present i don't plan on replacing emblem i rather like being asked 100 times aday . what type of car is that everywhere i go. just kidding. two of my cars have emblems, two do not. it averages about the same what type of car is that? most people don't rocognise the pentrident anyhow. i have been asked by people who work for chrysler for 20 years and never heard of it. one elderly gentleman stated after seing cut in fender portals reflected' idon't know what type of car that is but i know it's no buick!

i don't understand why some one would use the discusting word like pimp! to each his own with taste might i sugest the word custom instead.

attached is a picture of one of my tcs wiyh a addition of 280 led lights on the in side of the cented reflector can't imagine trying to make them sequintal. also added a spoiler with center brake light efect brilliant ?

finally molded in scoop after six years and added newer chrome piece to match front tc grill
-
thought this color combination is a keeper. only desicion now is style of hood scoop to mold in . any comments
-
the chrome rings are from the inside of the 1955-1957 thunderbirds. they have to be modified and bent to fit properly on tc's. i have a set on all of my 4 tc's. if interested anyone may email me at mrk813@charter.net and i will email as to where to purchase and how to install. mike key st.lou
