Nice nice.
My Shadow's interior came a little torn apart, but i've kind of gotten it back together piecing it from a bunch of other shadows, and other Dodge line cars.
Then again, it doesn't help one of the previous owners didn't know how to care for a car properly....

Yeah I do too, one of the previous owners blew two engines!
I'm on the third now, and a lot of the headliner is ruined. The dome light still doesn't work, the car leaks, and many many more problems. Do you know where I can hook up a positive lead to interior LEDs in my car?

[moparfwdsleeper]

like on the fuse box?

[Shadow_Geek]

I'm just trying to hook them up to my car somewhere via switch. I'll probably run them from the fuse box, but I don't want a wire that's always hot, otherwise i'll leave them on, and personally things like that bother me. I just want a switch for it so that I don't always have them on whenever I start the car.

[moparfwdsleeper]

Remove the headlight switch and link it there, I'd suggest the side marker lights. That way they are on when your lights are on.

I took three electronics courses and I still can't get this stuff right...
Oh well, I guess it's a lot different in a car.

Thanks a lot, and good luck with the Shadow.
I'm definitely am going to need it with mine.

If I can ever be of some help just ask!

[Shadow_Geek]

Yeah, I have another question, not pertaining to the original topic, but a question nonetheless.
On my Ragtop, my back plastic window is broken. I've looked around for a bit, but I haven't been able to find too many answers. Can I just replace the window? Or do I have to replace the whole top?

[moparfwdsleeper]

lol I would think you could replace the window. The problem would be in finding one if a dealer doesn't stock them anymore. If they don't your best bet is to replace the top. Are there any shop's around you that do this kind of work?

[moparfwdsleeper]

forgot i added a Fidanza short throw(FWD-P), APC Shift Knob, Polyurethane shifter bushings(boogerbushings.com), A523/568 Shifter. That is all I can remember right now

[Shadow_Geek]

i'll grab one from a junkyard or something, because I know the dealers around here don't carry them anymore. Just finding a shadow ragtop can be kind of hard.

the rear window in a shadow convertible is not replaceable it comes with a new roof, i had a similar problem when i first had mine i went to the junkyard unzipped the top part of the window then cut as low as i could across the bottom of the the entire roof section next step i went home and got out the needle and thread (upholstery type)
zipped top part of window in place pulled it tight and stitched the bottom in. not nicest repair but got me through the winter with a window. I have since replaced the roof and found to only clean plastic windows with water and nothing else they get funny colored and crack. good luck hope this helps a little
