leaving the nest.

I just got my t/a out of the garage after six months. I also just ordered
new gm repro t-top weather stripping and a t-top center molding to replace my leaky ones (should have got a convertable). I have lots more planned for upgrades planned for the summer.
Do most people store their 3gens in winter or drive them?

snow sucks

what a hassle to keep these cars runnig and looking good for the comparativley few nice days a year that we can drive them. sometimes I question weather it it worth it at all, then my fast tells me to get those windows down.

I have to drive mine year round, but now that I live in a warmer climate, it isnt an issue.

Just curious, how much was the weatherstriping? Thinking of getting a new set for myself..

I ordered the 5 piece gm repro kit from f-body motorsports in north carolina.
the stripping was $210 us. the t-top center molding is brand new gm repro also and cost $150us. you can get a used one for $65 but what the heck this one is painted and ready to go on. shipping was $15 but I had it shipped to detroit instead of windsor. maby if you have a friend in seattle you could do the same.
