82 T top question
My 82 has T tops that are pretty much just the shell and the locking mechanism. I'm trying to figure out what I need to order to complete the interior of my C3. Can anyone provide either pictures of what the T tops headliner (whatever you call it) is supposed to look like, or some type of diagram?
Thanks...

If you are not looking to replace the velcro's and such (screws, plastic pieces, EXPENSIVE stuff), an easy way to get that 'finished' look for your t-tops is the headliner parts. Wilcox has a solid set, they just screw into a few existing spots. Although I have a 78, the part reads 78-82. I don't have any pictures of them in my car yet, they're still in the box
. I'm a little bit halfway done re-doing my interior. Goodluck!Link: http://willcoxcorvette.com/product_i...ducts_id=27504

Thanks Joshua, This looks like it might work. Wilcox is about 20 minutes down the road from me so I'll pop in and see what else they might have that I don't need.

WannaC3,
Just re-looking at this thread, glad that Brack asked if you had fiberglass or Mirrored T-Tops. You'll definitely want to look at those plastic ones, because the panels can cost about $150 each, while the plastic is $150 per pair.

The 82 assembly instruction manual (AIM) shows how the fiberglass tops go together, including the trim panels. The panels were color coded to the interior color.
The optional glass tops have no trim panels.
