I really like Scratch X. It works really well and makes black look really good. I think it is made by Turtle Wax.

I saw someone talking about that somewhere. Is it outrageously expensive?

i bought mine for 4000 and it was sitting for 5 years. i had to change out all the fluids, replace the radiator, and hoses. all the vacuum lines cracked. did cap,rotor, plugs and wires. almost all the sensors went bad. rear brakes leaked after awhile. had to replace all the parts for that. its not pretty. if your handy, you'll enjoy the work. if your not it is costly. good luck

Wow. Hopefully I'm luckier than you are. Does anyone know a good shop to get the convertible top replaced near Baltimore?

including labor? I have seen the top for 150. Hopefully I dont need the rear window curtain as well.

"gwohlfort" hey congrats on your purchase, i think you'll be happy, what are you going to name her, i've always named my cars, it gives them a personality, and maybe im supersticious but i think its good luck,

guy quoted me $1k for labor. im just not buying a top. its a summer only car, and if its raining i wont drive it. one think to check for sure is the top cylinder. mine blew and it sucks balls.

[gwohlfort]

I just got an estimate for labor. 350 if I have the top and rear window replaced and 275 if I just have the top replaced. I dont pick up the car til saturday so Im not sure what kind of shape the rear window curtain is in. I shouldve looked closer last week. For the most part... do most people replace this everytime they replace the top? thanks

i named mine "Penny" its sound like a horse name, and it also sounds like a girls name, but overall penny is older now seen better days, but she makes me happy everytime i drive her, if you like most of us, you'll create a bond with you car nonone will understand except for us, and it just take a little TLC that some arent willing to give, but us Stangers take pride
