Hi - new to TAC but have been in 'Minne-snow-ta' for a long time. Currently live in the western suburbs of the TC metro area.
Bought our 'anniversary' car in late October of 2004. Drove it from Mankato directly to a storage facility. In June of 2006 it went over to a body shop and didn't see daylight until August of 2008. Just missed having it ready to drive to Car Craft last fall but will be there this year.
Still have the final color sand and buff to do in the spring before the rest of the graphics go on. Also have a set of 8x15 snowflakes that will replace the originals (both sets were refinished locally). Here's a few pics taken coming out of the shop, first local cruise-in, and shortly before the snows came last fall. Click on each one to see a larger version.

btw -
"BIGBRRD" is a '78 TA and has the 400ci with a 4 speed, Hurst t-tops and the original velour interior. We're the 2nd owners.
