Think of selling a few cars

T tops rock, infact I can't stand a gbody without them.
Just about all my cars have them.
I've been thinking of installing the t top roof I have lying around on my 85 442.

T-tops are ****ing awesome. End of story.

Yes, for looks and "coolness factor".

To anybody that complains about the sun/heat/glare...
For starters, you're a wuss. Secondly, they make inserts that slip in and block the sun. Problem solved.

You're in MN, drive 'em in the south in August and you might change your mind.

My 455 is putting out well beyond 500 ft. lbs. of torque, and I have absolutely no issues with the structural integrity.

The best thing you can do for a T-top car is installing the X-brace kit behind the rear seat.
This will eliminate almost all of the squeeks and rattles associated with T-top cars.

I haven't tried the rear seat braces, they seem too far back on the chassis to affect the T-tops, but I won't discredit it since I haven't tried it. I tried most other factory type braces as mentioned and kept getting a torque cracked windshield, so while it is a surmountable issue, it is still something to think about.

Definately try the rear seat braces. It makes a very noticable difference. They also help prevent the common cracking at the tops of the B-pillars that T-top cars, and all G-bodies for that matter are notorious for.

Blake, did you make your seat braces or did you buy them from a place like G-Body parts?

Oh and I agree t-tops are definitely the sh*t!

I agree, I luv T Tops! In fact I got a not TTop LS I'll trade for a TTop LS anyday!

Didn't say I didn't love them.

But if I was getting a low miles car I could keep long time I'd pass . No leak issues . No extra "panels" to block sun . No trashed interior if kept outside .

Everyone has what they like . Some people need to respect that .

Thanks, I need to put those on the list of things to get. Definitely wouldn't mind taking care of some of the squeaks and rattles.
