In fact, with the floor pan looking so good and the new exhaust, I am beginning to wonder just how much I want to drive it before dealing with that issue. I hate to recoat the floor with "Pontiac rustproofing" and don't really want oil coked all over the new exhaust. This might be a one and done burn out with the new tires and exhaust...
There is a frame off restored 1971 TA for sale at RK Motors that caught my attention in this regard. Beautifully clean underside with oil spatter coked all over the exhaust and muffler. Pretty nice looking car with at least one wrong fender and a sky high price tag. Here's a couple exhaust shots.
