Well I don`t want to spend hours posting pics, so here is a video:biggrin:
YouTube - 78 Buick Regal project
Basically it went from this![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
To this![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I didn`t take pics of all the repairs... yes, there was even more rust
It looks good, but its not even close to being finished... I will be repairing and painting a turbo hood for it, I will be using a lip spoiler off a SS Monte, I will be experimenting with some header panels to make it more aerodynamic:biggrin: I will lower it and I will be using different wheels... I like my originals, but I would also like a little change in style.
For the motor, I am using a N/A edelbrock intale/carb setup for now... I have both C/T and SFI setups, but only so much time and money to make it happen. I am planning to go with a blow-through setup(Weiand intake, Holley carb, 86/87 turbo, intercooler and so on).
mikemcvaney gave me the idea for the Monte SS trunk lip:biggrin:
