well, i hope to get my money today. then i hope to get "boxey" tomorrow. weather very iffy.i hope my scan II guage will hook right up to the sensor under the dash. the present owner said that when i put the top down im supposed to hesitate halfway down to make sure the plastic window is folding right??? true? tomorrow afternoon im hoping to register it and all that good stuff.

yes, mrfred..you gonna have to do the chop like everyone else here who has plastic windows

If you don't:
-overtime, it will leave a 1" or 2" rip in either mid corners or middle of the plastic windoe
-if the weather is cold and you didn't do the chop, it might crack the plastic

There's a lot of topic here regarding your concern. Search the thread "Plastic Window or Chop"

Here are some of them to keep you inform but not to scare you

thanks unk. tim was showing me the headlights. i could swear that you cn do one headlight at a time (huh??). im very conscious of being seen so all my vehicles i run the headlights in the day as well. im afraid i know the answer, but ar the headlights auto turn off ??

I don't think you could do one headlight at a time and it's not auto turn off. plus you don't need to turn your headlight on during daytime coz' with that car..they could see you a mile away

ha ha thanks unk. now here is a tougher question for you. what is the proper way to do the chop and what does it do exactly. sunday its supposed to reach 50 degrees. can i put the top down if im careful. it will be outdoors so i cant warm up the top. oh the questions continue. thanks my new friends

[unklekraker]

the proper way to chop is like chopping your plastic window while it's halfway down to make sure that theres no crease before closing it all the way down *im not sure if this make sense, if you need more clarification, check the first thread i gave you*


after reading it, go for a drive this sunday and enjoy the road while everybody is watching football

no need to warm up the top, im talking about the plastic window that you need to be careful when it's sunny outside but cold esp. if you park outdoor or even in the garage

yea! picked up boxey today. runs great. very smooth . tranny very crisp. hard to tell how fast im going. does rattle when go over sharp bumps. no lean at all in corners.very basic. i just keep my fingers crossed the engine does not explode. my insurance agent called. said "fred, its only going to cost $450 per month!!!!!!" yikes . im afraid i said some bad words. then he said it was only an insurance joke and that it would cost me $600 year. ok i say.
