That's the nicest '79 I've ever seen!  Your TA is looking great and with the under side so clean, I'd be hard pressed to believe that you drive that thing anywhere!  I hope my TA looks that nice someday!

SoonerTA asked what exhaust you are running and I would like to know the answer to that too...

Thanks for the kind words guys.  The pictures make the paint look a little better than it really is, 7 out of 10 :(  I wish I could justify a professional paint job, but its not in the cards right now.  One day ::)  As for the exhaust, it was built by a muffler shop.  The down pipes from the manifolds are about 2 1/4 inches, they then widen to 2 1/2 back to the Flowmasters and splitters.  I think the down pipes should have been 2 1/2 as I think the 2 1/4 pipes might be a little restrictive?   As for the Snowflakes, Hitman gets the credit for those ;D

Wow...Flowmasters, really?  I would have never thought.  Mine on other cars have never sounded the well.  Your car sounds GREAT!
