The local annual cruise in was a success. A couple hundred rides were in attendance. The Trans Am ran superb during the 45 mile round trip.

Looks great, but you didn’t hang the hat on the antenna!

LOL Unfortunately, it would disappear quickly with the clientele in attendance.

I finally took some time and read your whole post here.
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....

Man, I’m glad I stumbled across this thread. #1, you have a gorgeous car you’re no doubt proud of. As you should be.

#2 I agree on the roof cutting. I figured the same as you, that if hurst did it, I could do it to my 77. I very nearly picked up a donor roof that was complete and planned to cut mine but between the money at the time and it flat out scared me as I’d just painted the car a few years prior, I let that idea pass lol. I did convert from auto to 4 speed so that increased the fun factor enough for me

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.
