Boy, I wished I had the TD down here…80 degrees. Just tripped over a restored TD and was pouring over it to see all the REAL STUFF. It was for sale for $25 big ones. Ouch. I guess I’ll be happy with my dual exhaust TD. Enjoy Florida and Merry Xmas to all.

I purchased a pair of the lift tubes from one of the links you provided. I am supposed to receive them by next week. I’ll let you know about the installed results. Thanks for you clear expanation of your system.

Would love to land a couple of those, but mean while I’m playing with the idea of removing the whole cover like Bill Collins’s car. Might be too heavy though. As far as using my golf clubs on the engine cover, the vehicle will pull to the right to match my slice…very unsafe

I like the idea of opening from the top but what to do with all those holes. I followed your links and one was interesting to try. Larry, I’d love to see a picture of your prop rod, stowed and holding lid up. Thanks Dan, I’ll be looking for one that fits. Thanks guys.

I haven’t done anything yet except a spot test using a light rubbing compound on one of the white spots. The roughness is gone but surface is lightly scratched. Next step will try to machine buff this area and apply polish. Will let you know how it turns out.

What product and procedure did you use. Awesome TD, but the level of shine is great
