GN is 95% DONE!!!

[turbonut85]

So my frame-off-rotissorie restoration is about 95% done!!* After 2 years of disassembly, cleaning, sandblasting, rust repair, sanding, painting, sanding, buffing, more sanding, assembly, and more blood, sweat, and tears than I care to talk about, I FINALLY got to drive it to my first show!!! I was very pleasantly surprised to win Top 25 honors and Best 1980's car with it!! * Got quite a few bugs to work out of it, but over all it has been a sucess!* After all, It's another Turbo Regal that has been saved from the bone yard and put back on the street where it belongs!! Here are some pics of it, from beginning to end. Let me know what you guys think.

That's awesome and very inspirational too. I'd like my car to be there one of these days.

Thanks also for the heads up on the Auto Twirler. I have my frame mounted on their body cart plus. Makes this kind of work way easier.

I'm moving in that direction and seeing those pics is absolutely inspirational. I needed to see that light at the end of the tunnel. Did you have the frame powder coated? What vendor did you get the car spin'y thing from?

Frame was powdercoated in a 40% sheen black and the springs, sway bars, control arms, drive shaft, and trans mount, were powdercoated in a gloss red.
The rotissorie was from Auto-Twirler...Best $900 I ever spent!!
