I took the car on a 40 mile run. This "new" 542C filter seems to flow better than the later issue AC Delco it replaced. The air temp was 60 degrees, but it seemed to pick up some high end power, and I can now hear the secondaries through the unmodified intake system.

I located a nice NOS hood latch...
Really only thing now needed is that elusive GM RH door weatherstripping.

The '77 now has a much larger, and improved new home in Northern Pennsylvania.

I was able to locate a mint original T-Top trunk bag with the gold Hurst Hatch logo spelled out. The reproduction I already have is a decent one, but did not have the correct "HH" logo. This is most certainly due to licensing costs. At least the quality was there, unlike some..

The RH door weatherstripping had seen better days, especially on the ends. The R&R took less than 40 mins. The NOS strip went on perfectly, and no slamming of the door.

The passengers lower plastic door panel was warped, and the leading edge was cracked. A new OER part was sourced. I have to say, the grain, and fit were spot on. These are a great reproduction. Other than different markings on the backside, you would have a hard time telling it apart from an original, if an original existed that wasn't warped.

Yes, I put a repro pair on my 77 and was very pleased as well. Armrest pad wasnt available at the time and I had to reuse my originals which were perfect. Not sure if the pads are available now?

The pair has finally emerged from their winter hibernation. Today is the 44th anniversary of the nationwide theatrical release of Smokey..

On a related note, do you know how many sheriff's cars are out there? I think yours is the only one I have seen, even looks like the blue interior.

I know of 8 clones at the moment. I built mine in 1996, so I might have been one of the first out there. Yes, it is screen accurate blue interior.
My father drives the LeMans to the various shows.
