Today, put the carb kit on before the SFC. Tested it out. Pulls like hell. Too much chassis flex.

T-Top Exploded

I mean literally shattered where it sat in place. Didn't fly off and smash when it landed. No, it shattered all over me, and pieces of glass fly back and ripped the **** out of my new paint job.

$200 for new T-tops
$500 to repaint back half

Life can be so cruel.

the only explanation I can think of is chassis flex. to shatter the glass where it sits. Locked in place properly.

What else could do this?

 

Hmm...that sucks!

T-top car = mandatory SFC's

 

Bad break -- sorry to hear about it... I would be really pissed. But I have lexan roofs which are getting near impossible to replace.

I have been told that 400hp to the b-pillar would do it ? Which side broke ? I have a passenger side glass roof taking up space in my basement.

RP.

 

It was the passenger side that shattered. Thanks for the offer Palric but I already bought a full set to replace them both.

I guess you learn as you go

 

Subframe are now on my list before engine mods

 

stupid me too. I have a pair waiting to be put on. they were going to be put on that day but we figured to do them last...:nono:

Do them first...for sure

hows your car coming Hughes did you fix it yet?

 

noy yet i have to fix the other car first

 

Yes, definately reccommended before any power adding mods! That's why I got them installed last year in anticipation of getting the headers this year.

 

hey 200 for t-tops is a good deal.. junk yeard? GM sells them for just under a grand .. (can't remember if you get the weatherstripping and rain guard with that.. probably not.. gm parts is evil)...

 

yep junk yard deal. There in pretty good shape. I even found a set of nicer one's for $120 at a swap meet at Speed-o-rama lastnight.
