    Regal Bag set up

    It’s all in and working! Still haven’t decided on the front shocks. I’ve seen s10 set ups that notched into the frame, but that looks tough to figure out, and l want to do it once, you know? anyway, my ideal stock-looking ride height is 60psi front, 30 rear.

    Regal Bag set up

    Ok, that makes sense. Ithink l figured out an easy cheater way to do the rear airbag attachment. Screw a urethane spring isolator on the bottom plate l already have. But it would be better to find a correct dimeter tube and weld it on. this is the kit l got. Pretty sure it’s the bc fab level 1...

    Regal Bag set up

    Thank you! I've been looking at s-10 ones because it's the same front end. Looks like the s-10 bracket Nissan Pathfinder shock is the usual set up. How big are upper and lower cups fror the front and rear? The set I have has 4) 3" uppers, 2 ) 2" lowers, and 2) flat plates. The bags are...

    Regal Bag set up

    I just got a bag set up unexpectedly for a great deal! Just manual valve switches, but good bags tank and compressor. It looks like a pretty straightforward kit, and install but I wanted to know if anyone could recommend a front shock relocation kit?

    What's the best way to get more life out of the factory bumper fillers? My fronts are still good, but the backs are starting to go.

    Jadestone interior

    I'm fixing up my 82 regal, and wanted to know who has the best selection of interior paint. I have a baby blue factory interior from a 78 monte carlo, and it's close but not quite the same as the jadestone light blue-green I already have. Plus the console itself needs to be the darker...

    Dash Plaque removal

    There are 4 plastic studs on the back of the plaque. You have to open the glove box, push the spring on the side to open it all the way and you can almost get at the nuts that hold it on. They are the same pressed steel nuts that are on the side panels that hold that trim on, but they usually...

    36mm Hollow Sway Bar

    The extra brace form the F-body won't just bolt on. You could drill weld or whatever to make it work, if you really really wanted to. I used the f-body bushings in the g-body brackets and just tightened it down. easy!

    Rear 1/4 glass

    I have a new to me set of rear 1/4 windows from a non vinyl top car to replace the vinyl top windows I currently have. The problem is, they did not come with the chrome trim that actually allows you to bolt them in. Before I pop out my current windows does anyone know if the trim piece comes...

    More weather strip questions

    I was at my friendly neighborhood junkyard (not the un-friendly one) and the only g-bodies they had were a 78 and 79 Cutlass. I have an 82 regal, and was wondering if anyone knew if the earlier window strip would fit on the later cars. Just to be clear I'm talking about the seal around the...

    Are bumper fillers interchangeable between years?

    the 81-83 are different than the 84-87. It's the little corners on the bottom of the grill that is the difference. On 81-83 there is a little fiberglass piece with some chrome trim that is bolted to the bottom of the grill on each side. 84-87 goes all the way to the grill. You could cut the...

    Camaro shift lever in g-body

    I got a free early 90's Camaro shifter and want to swap it for the column shift I have now. Any ideas how to hook up the ignition lockout, reverse lights and just a good place to start working on it?

    Wiring diagrams for 82 regal

    Is there a place where I can find wiring diagrams online? I am working on removing the computer and all the sensors, and putting the Buick V6 back in. I think I've gotten everything separated out, but need to find out how to hook up an earlier vac-advance v-6 distributor.
