Default Just a few new pics

We finally got the power steering leak fixed that's been plaguing me for the last 2+ months. Every component has now been replaced and as it turned out it was the rack and hoses leaking. Anyway since I got that issue solved I can now drive the car without p/s fluid literally pouring out so yesterday we went for a drive to take some shots of the car with the new TTM's. I only had a few shots before taken 1 mile from the house since I couldnt drive it and I really wanted some new shots. There nothing special but I think they turned out ok
Let me know what you think

Get some better looking exhaust tips and take off the decals (the SLP emblem as well as the LS1/5.8L and orange sticker from your back window for cleaner look) nice bird tho, love the flames.

Thanks for the compliments. The tail filler colors are to compliment the flame colors...almost the same colors but the orange has faded and I plan to redo it next spring.

Its not rainbow. Rainbows have at least 6 colors in them. Also they aren't mustang wheels. They are American Racing Torque Thrust M's

Thanks! Nice car btw also Yeah I do get alot of looks....sometimes its too much but for the most part it's all cool. While we were taking these pics yesterday a lady pulled in and said she really loved the car and that she used to have a 79 TA and plans to get one again. She also thought it was cool that a girl owned the car.

The car is clean Michelle, the finish on the wheels looks very good with the pewter paint. Especially like the overall composition on the last photograph as well.

The SLP and LS1 5.7 badges don't match in color or font. For me, I wouldn't have them. I like the rest though!

Thanks Josh. My photos pale in comparison to yours . I almost wished I didnt put mine up after seeing yours. I used to do car photography all the time then fell on some hard times the last 1.5 yrs and didnt do any photography at all.

Thanks TUMBLRws6 again . Mine isnt as pretty as yours

SmokeySS the orange in the tailfiller is different because it has faded..its become a sickly pale color that I dont like at all. Unfortunately I've lost my airbrush and aircompressor and have to buy that stuff all over again. So as I get the money I'll be doing redoing the tailfiller. The LS1 sticker has been on there since 2001 and the SLP badge since early 2002. Someone on LS1.com used to sell the ls1/5.7L decals back then. I have pondered taking them off or doing them in orange but I've left it alone.
