It's a project for sure and your taking it to it....Thanks for saving another G-Body Joe!!! They take time and money and of course patience, alot of that. I see the PA tags on the car, but I'm not so sure that it spent it's life there with the doors/floors in the condition they were in...The rear frame rails are good though right?? I love threads so keep it up

thanks!, yeah, oddly enough the rear frame rails are perfect, which was the guys selling point. the cars has been in the pittsburgh area all its life, but im assuming it was probably kept outside most of its life. its a 3 owner car, and the previous owner who i bought it from just let the car go. he never changed oil, thus all the sludge, never put good tires on it, smoked in it, let his dogs in it, pretty much just beat it up... , but it has come along way, from junker to car cruiser .

Sure, I'd love to do a frame off build. Do you have a spare 2 car garage to do it in and $20K that you don't know what to do with? Thanks for insulting my ride man. And please, entertain me and tell me what work my regal needs still.
