Me and about 20 other cars mostly corvettes and 4th gen camaros and transams. Cruised to Fernadina Beach Florida and had dinner at the surf restaurant on the coast. On sunday the lobsters are only $5.95 each. :dirol:
 
Florida is awesome, i will down there next week. What am i doing in pa? 22F right now.
 
32 in NY. The roads look like an obstacle course from all the mounds snow we have had this year.

Lobster was great, I had the a.c. on, just replaced the t-top seals. That was a real job. I know winter is not over yet, I am sure we will see it in the 20's again for lows.

I have to do the T top seals on my 82 TA. What brand did you use?


T-top seals used hawks third gen GM-3133OER. 8 piece kit, included the drip rails for the windows, t-top seals for the body and well as the t-tops themselves, they even gave you new tracks for the t-top seal that goes to the glass above the drip rail.
Cost was 259.00 plus 15 shipping for total of 274.
Just got in today new seals for the doors, they are softseal brand. Paid like 59.95 for both doors, this is the rubber seal surrounding the doors. Got them from Jackson automotive in CT. They are on ebay.

How did the Hawks seals fit? Were they made by Metro? I've got to do this soon. I am tired of the leak when I wash the car.

Fit and quality seem to be good. OER or original equipment reproduction and it says on the box that they are oficially licenced by General Motors. Call Hawks they could tell you more.
 
A few more pics. Notice the S10 in the second pic. Came out of Georgia, this guy put a V8 in it and said he is getting in the low 12's with it. Has MTs on the rear. Has trouble getting traction, real lite in the rear.
The third picture has the ocean in the background. This was taken from a beachfront park.

I think you are right, he said he got the motor for like 700 dollars. And did the work himself. Put nice leather bucket seats in it, said he got them out of a junk yard.
 
Pictures (weather) look so nice. We are in the middle of a severe ice storm tonight. 1 + inches of ice accumulation. My driveway is a death trap. Hope the power doesnt go out.
 
This is what I do on a Blizzardy night in Chicago. 15 degrees, 12 inches of snow so far and 55 mph winds. Are you jealous yet? Snowmobiling tomorrow! LOL

I know it has been a terrible bitter winter, I am just trying to brighten things up for the all of us. Hopefully spring will be here soon.
 
I love Florida, and crusing up and down the beach.
If I could sell my house out here in Northern Arizona, I would move there in a flash.
Only two things would possibally keep me back here.
Greater Los Angeles Auto Show.
SEMA.
Looks like a great time.
