Hi, can you please help find out more about my new (!?) Pearl kit?

I believe it is a 1977-1978?
Wooden Shells, gray painted inside.

Yes, I've been using those, thanks.

The kits before 1975 seem to have another bass drum spurs, and the kits after 1978 all have the 7/8 standard tom mounts... That's what leads me to the 76-77 time frame.

I think the Giant Step kit in this 1977 catalog seems to be very close
 
They might be fiberglass. It's hard to tell from the pics. I don't think I see any plys in the two images of the floor tom. They aren't Wood-Fiberglass. The layed in fiberglass on those is white and looks like a mesh net. The fiberglass shell I saw a pic of is grey. It was finished to look like wood inside however.
 
That's a good info, Thanks MrInsane.

This is a picture showing the plys:

Those were a Pearl Powermate model. I had a black wrapped kit that I started with in 77 with the inside sprayed gray. They had about 4 different shells to choose from.
