Spending money - Feels good though!

Well the money spending on the LT continues (Not due to a "no choice" scenerio). Recently purchased alternator general rebuild and bearing kits (a whole $25.00 or so) and rebuilt the original alternator. Ordered a new white soft top from AL Knoch and now have the LT at the upholstery shop for it's install. Also going to have the shop repair a bead seem on the original drivers leather seat. So with all that, going to be around $850.00 + lighter in the 'ol wallet. But it's a good feeling

Anyone else been spending money on there LT this winter??

Well if it's any consolation, I most likely will be spending cash-ola on a radiator refurb. It's the original, there's no problem(s) with it right now, but like the alternator rebuild a little preventitive maintenence is better than having a problem out on the road.
It is amazing how quickly the costs can add up though.

Where can you get those hood ornaments? Ecklers? Mid-Am?

You have to marry 'em.

It needs a paint job! Tell her she's supposed to sit "inside" the car, NOT on it!

The way she looks, she can sit on or where ever she wants!
