    BUILD THREAD “The Juggernaut”

    Time for this week’s update. I kinda fell into the “well, I’m into it this far so I might as well…” syndrome, so I did a little more body filler work on the inside of the rear panel. I had some rust that was found underneath the undercoating behind the passenger’s side taillight, so I...

    I’m sure you already know, but artificial lights are terrible for seeing the true nature of colors. My Viper Blue Pearl is totally unremarkable indoors, but in the sun it’ll knock your socks off. Take ‘em outside in direct sunlight and make your decision from there.

    Paint Rust Question

    Not really, no. It can happen with any kind of paint. As Ribbedroof alluded to earlier, it’s also commonly referred to as rail dust. Because new cars shipped to dealerships on the train used to get it quite often. Not as much nowadays as they’re now usually plastic wrapped, but it is still...

    Paint Rust Question

    I would say it’s because of metal particles from the plow wearing getting onto the paint. Time for a power polish and a coat of wax.

    Sorry to hear about your losses recently Chris. My deepest condolences and sympathies. It’s funny that you posted today, I was just thinking about you and your car last night and was wondering how you were coming along with it.

    BUILD THREAD 84 Regal back half/caged/mini tubbed lq4/4l80e build

    Just a heads up, some fuel pressure regulators like my Aeromotive one use ORB (O-Ring Boss) fittings, not NPT. Check and make sure yours aren’t like that. Nice progress!!

    BUILD THREAD “The Juggernaut”

    Thank you Shawn, I truly appreciate the compliment. Everything you outlined above is absolutely true, and I do actually fully understand that. I guess it’s just me venting my frustrations about something I felt could’ve potentially been done much MUCH better. Don’t feel guilty, I always...

    BUILD THREAD “The Juggernaut”

    I have no disillusions of what I’m going to find on the underside of the car, I already know full well going in that it ain’t gonna be pretty. Thankfully most of the floor pan has been replaced with my custom made floor. That’ll cut down on a lot of it. Absolutely. Yep, supplies aren’t cheap...

    BUILD THREAD “The Juggernaut”

    Ever do something or make a modification to your G body that you’ve regretted, either instantly or otherwise? I have. For me, the absolute bane of my existence is that I sprayed the entire trunk with rubberized undercoat. Every. Square. Inch. It seemed like a good idea at the time back in my...

    BUILD THREAD “The Juggernaut”

    Yep, I’ve been slowly picking away at the backside of the tail panel, I can post up an update later tonight or tomorrow. It likely won’t have a lot of content, but I can post what I do have.

    BUILD THREAD “The Juggernaut”

    Thanks for the heads up on that. While I do have LED bulbs for the signal lights up front (sequential if you recall), I have eliminated the side marker lights, both front and rear. So not too worried about that. My only real concern though is the LED’s (front and rear) putting enough of an...
