Wow.

You got Big 'Un's sawing up your roof for the "T" Tops, amazing job! When I read that I was in disbelief, and very impressed. You could do a whole detailed blog on how you did it
I thought of doing the same thing, but hell, I wont even put a hole in my roof for a CB Antenna.

I can't even remember what the "Stock" engine looked like as I viewed your pics in this thread. I was more into hot rodding (still am) and went immediately down the Mod path - the first thing I did 44 years ago was rip out all of the emissions crap and gut the cat converter.

Also see you got those original tires - that had me chuckle as I still have the original Uniroyal's mounted on the old oxidized snowflakes stashed in my basement.

.Keep the photos of the beauty flowing....

My car is not completely stock. It has a true dual Pypes exhaust with Hooker Super Comp tube headers, rejetted carb, and recurved distributor. It runs much better than brand new '77 would have for sure.

The T-Top conversion was not too bad. Just had to be very careful and take things slow since I was dealing with a nice paint/interior car. I made templates from an entire original roof I purchased from another PY board member. I just could not locate a 4 speed Y82 that wasn't a patched together POS or a $80k show queen. So I took this superb original factory Starlight black 43k mile T/A and built it the way I wanted for FAR less money.
