Couldn't help but notice...Is that a Scout in the background? I have a couple of Scouts, the back corner looks kinda alike. I have thoughts of getting one running at some point, this one has sat too long.

Couldn't help but notice...Is that a Scout in the background?

Thanks for the replies 565bbchevy, lillbowtie. Both of your cars look pretty sharp! I had been looking at the eBay fiberglass versions and its good to hear feedback on them. For this car, it isn't going to restored to show, just a driver so spending a lot on parts is not part of the plan...

Had a look today at the bumper filler panels on the Regal. All of them are cracked and the rear filler is missing pieces around the gas filler neck. Bottom line is that I will be replacing them over the winter, with what, is the question. So what have you used to replace them, aftermarket, NOS...

Just come back from a drive around the acreage to check on the wheat harvest....so far so good! The Regal is such a smooth drive after being bounced around in the combine. :) Back into the shop to finish some housecleaning, at least its still cool in there.

Sounds like the problems I was having with my Regal last year. Hard starting, poor idle, very little fuel from the accelerator pump squirters, surging during part throttle on the highway and so on. It turned out to be a multi cause problem. In order starting at the back, fuel tank lines rotted...

Well a little digging and locating the RPO sticker in the trunk lid I was able to find out the original paint/seat/top colour. 79U Primary Colour Exterior Burgundy Met (91) 79T Top DK Red Vinyl 799 Seat Belt Colour Ruby Red (93) 79D Trim Combination Cloth Ruby Red D (93) This was from a RPO...

Thank you for the compliment, its a Burgundy colour, don't really know its paint history but it appears that only the roof was repainted at one time. I will try to figure out the paint code and get back to you with that info. Your car appears to be a survivor too! Its funny today the wife and...

Took the Regal out for a drive after some maintenance today. Did a little investigating for the cause of a rough idle, then surging while driving along at part throttle. When the manual choke is pulled out slightly then the surging would smooth out and all was fine. Turns out that the fuel...

The weather has been above normal and the weather types are calling for daytime temps above freezing till January. Since there hasn't been any snow here, no plowing work and no need of the winter beater Cavalier so the plates are still on the Regal. I had been delaying topping off the gas tank...

Have you seen the Fido ad running recently with a Buick Regal low-rider in the background. I don't have a link for it but its been on for about a week now.

Recently I was driving a 99 Suburban 1500 4x4, with the action, sounds you described while stopped. According to the owner it was normal, at times you really couldn't feel the 4x4 engage while moving and the only indication that it was in 4 wheel mode that there wasn't any wheel spin as all the...

Took the Regal out for a windows down test drive after some work on the carb today. It was 65 degrees here today, usually below freezing and snow this time of year. About 2 months ago drove the car into the village and home, parked it, no problems. The car sat for a month and a half since we...

No problem...sorry about the delay, farming all caught up now, we get very busy during fall harvest. Un-jammed the tape deck yesterday so the radio and dash is going back together, the carb was flooding badly due to needle worn down and jamming, fixed it also so I can drive it later today...

Got a chance to have a look at the HVAC control unit/radio and snap some pics. If they don't show what you need, let me know the location and we will try to get it. I was surprised that there is only a wiring harness and no vacuum connections to the control. Vacuum lines on the heater housing...
