>Bob, buy the NEMGTR book on the T series, these questions are answered in
the book. From memory, the fender piping was painted the car color, and I
mean painted, not matched. I prefer black, for all colors, but that is not
original, and I don't care for cars that match the interior color as some
have done.
All TD's had cloth on the dash, and were not veneer. This was a popular
after market upgrade, but not from the factory. Looks nice very often.
