  1. thanks alan(twincamfan) for intrest. and yes i did take some heat from the purist. to each his own. my hobby is making my tc's unique. as far as the grills on two mfy tc's. i found a old sears airconditioner cover in ajunk yard and cut out two grills to fit the inside of front grill. paintd one, chrome the other, because of the lovering one side up thicker look, the other down thiner look. will try and post pictures. if they do not come thru will schrink and repost tomorrow. u571 has any ever heard of replaceing 6cyl with hemi i inquired with a pro mechanic and was told no way it would fit ? majmx yes the pipes can be hooked up live need special convertor. will post pictures of new side pipe red tc in a few day's thanks for intrest.

  2. have 4 tc 's in st.louis mo. last year i stopped at a coustom sun roof place while in the process of having a black fabrick top put on a extra top i purchased, and was informed that flber tops were not be gauranteed not to leak. so i passed. black fabrick top has fantastic luxury look. 4tc's three different tops 12 different tc looks have two hoist in garage. i have fun changing looks every couple day's. any extra tops in st. louis area please contact always looking too buy mrk813@charter.net

  3. on my 2.2 turbo 1989 i replaced the acumulator, bled brakes, and the red brake light kept coming on very faintly took to a brake specialist who ran a series of computer test. was informed by him just a flaw in design. light will go out when i pump brakes aprox. 10 times for awhile. then comes on faintly again. fuses and box not over heating or acumulator both new. brakes work great! that light being on even faintly bothers me. any sugestion's whole system was replaced three years ago! help!

  4. on two of my 4 tc's i run 16' on front and 17' on back to try and offset sloped portal hard top to rear ever notice soft top not like that. never had any problems! on other tc's runing 16' on all four no problems. you also might try running same rim sizes but with different height tires example:205/50R16 on front 215/60R16 on rear am trying this example on my next tc purchase looking for burgandy/burgandy st. louis area good luck!
