  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Right you are Tim, I really wish there was another way but these are the times we all live in. The grill in my car while looking good from the outside is all glued together and poorly painted so this is my only recourse. I thought most guy's here liked parts from The Parts Place no? The last parts I bought from them are perfect and arrived in 2 days so I have no complaints with them. Ron

    RJS, not sure but it could be made in Taiwan as well. I havefound more repro parts made there than comm. China. Most of the True made in Comm. China parts seem to be from big companies where the samller resto guys use Taiwan which is democratic. Anyway you look at it you do not always have a choice if you want your car restored. I would have bought that as well if it were available when I bought mine and saved myself about 30 hours of labor. Thanks for the complement on work. Cannot wait to get it in someday.

    Just check the stud holes and make sure you are up to speed on that, should be no issues by now I would think. Also, you have any pics of your convertible???

    Wow that is very, very nice. :beers2: Like the colors too. Uncle had one when I was a little kid, used to go to candy store in it all the time, I just remember it sounded neat (car would have been about 10 years old at the time).
