I did give the hinges to the new owner of my CSX-T. Maybe he'll get around to it?
My biggest complaint on the 2 dr Shadows was the shoulder strap would flutter in the wind badly whenever the window was rolled down while driving at interstate speed. This sort of drove me nuts! This was NOT the case with the 4 dr Shadows. Opening those quarter windows probably would have vented the cabin enough to reduce or eliminate that shoulder strap (seat belt) from buzzing so bad. That and the car's interior would be much cooler too.

Ive seen Shadows with working vented quarter glass windows...always assumed some models had the option and some didnt.

The 87 parts book shows what appears to be hardware, but I've never actually seen a working quarter window in person.

Looks great. Nice that there were other Shelby dodges there too.
Re: The Shelby CSX-VNT Owner's Thread
Hoping someone who swapped out the fiberides with crabs can confirm that crabs use the same lug nuts as the fiberides. I assume the fiberides lug nuts are the same as crabs with just a different color.

Been FOREVER since I posted here, but for the hell of it, let's do a roll call to see which 89 CSX's are out there.
I have #144 (survivor car) and #414 (torn down for a top to bottom restoration. Since I got it in 07, I had plans of redoing it. But then I bought #144 and #414 took a back seat. So instead I plan on doing all the work now with my son once he's old enough and interested!

What size diameter is our stock exhaust and is that OD or ID? I ask as I need to replace my cat or install a test pipe and want to make sure I get the proper size to slip over the OG pipe.
