rubbers
I just woke up my Vette from a four year slumber(kids). My buddy is going to get my car painted for me!! (Nice Buddy) It still has original 77 factory tired looking red paint! I have been looking at Mid Amer and Zip for a set of new rubber wheather strip kits.. zip has a price that is around $100 less than Mid America. I am afraid of buying a cheap product that will deteriorate way before the life expectancy of the new paint. Does anyone have a good source for the original GM kits ... and how much $$$$$$$ am I looking at.

I've never had a problem with any of the stuff I've bought from ZIP products. Their quality is just as good as the stuff from Mid America, plus as a forum member you get a 5% discount from ZIP if you order online. There is a place that supplies most of the rubber products for Corvettes, they supply most of the reseller also. They are located at http://www.corvette-rubber.com/ Check their prices, compare them to Zip's. Then call Zip and ask them who supplies their weather stripping. They also have an excellent return policy.

Re: rubbers (skinsfan)
There are two different sets of t-top strips depending on build date for '77.
Be sure to count how many plastic insert tabs you have before ordering.
I was also very satisfied with my corvette rubber order. Post again when your ready to install, lots of good tips can be found here on the forum.
I had some gotchas that some good people helped me out with.
