    Cheap seat covers.

    Bought a set of bucket seats on Friday, mostly bought them for the seat tracks, but I figured I'd throw them in instead of my split bench for now. But they're Blue, and my interior isn't blue, it's a weird combination of maroon burgundy and spray painted black. Lol Anybody have any...

    Best factory manifolds.

    Okay, so I have an 83 Regal with a vortec head 350sbc, the car has a 5 speed manual transmission using the factory mechanical linkage. I have Hedman 68310 headers... And I hate them... They leak a lot. They're warped terribly I've tried everything short of having them resurfaced, they visibly...

    REGAL Wheel arch moldings

    Has anybody had any luck with aftermarket wheel arch moldings or do they fit as terribly as most of the other aftermarket parts? My Regal had chrome moldings that were kind of beat up. I thought I could just go without them but we ended up vinyl wrapping my car. I'd like to add a set of black...

    1983 Regal Tail light emblem.

    Ordered this off eBay, my old one was broken and said "Kega" Any idea what those gray nubby things on the back are? They look like they'd interfere with tape. Do they have something to do with gluing it to the taillight lens like the original was?

    REGAL Racing seat install?

    I ordered a set of ebay sport buckets that call themselves racing seats. Included in the auction is two seats and sliders. I was thinking I would be able to bolt the seats onto my factory 60/40 tracks and not use the sliders. I kinda realized I have no idea if that is going to work. Looks like...

    Headlight bezel hardware

    So on my 83 Regal I'm switching to an 84+ header panel. Got one on craigslist from a guy in south Jersey for $200 along with a pair of fenders and front and rear bumpers. Came with no hardware at all. I bought new headlight adjusters. But one thing I can't seem to find is the nylon nuts that...

    Rod Links clutch linkage??

    I know a few people have the rod Links clutch linkage from speed direct. Did anybody need to modify theirs to fit? There was no way I was getting mine together. I ended up shortening the lower rod by about 1/2" to 3/4" overall... Didn't measure just cut both ends lmao... Also had to chase the...

    Cleaning sealant from T top trim.

    Finally started thinking about cleaning my trim, so eventually I can put gaskets back in. Lol. Ii started scraping this gunk with a razor blade, but that's no fun, and I'm going to do more harm than good. Is there a better way to clean this sh*t.

    BUICK Outdoor car cover.

    I don't believe in car covers. The last time I had a car under one it made condensation and rusted random stuff that never should have rusted... However. I'm down to like one day of work a week, and don't want my Regal to be over at work anymore. I'm 3/4 of the way through body work. And only...

    84+ grille mounting

    Something looks broken here? Should there be a price across those gaps for the clip on nuts that hold the grille? Should I just drill some new holes?

    Hp vs weight reduction.

    Do you think I will notice a difference in Performance?

    Fender to hood gap?

    So how do I fix this? I'd like to get it tighter like the driver's side, I've loosened bolts and tried to push the fender in further. Only seemed to move the edge of the fender closest to the door. Looking in from the door opening the top bolt between the fender and body has no shims, the...

    Cutting Moog 5660 springs

    Bought a set of front springs to install. Waiting on control arm bushings before I put them in because I don't want to do the job twice.. Thinking I should cut a quarter coil off the springs, just for sh*ts and giggles. I'm assuming I cut the end without th white paint? They ends just look...

    REGAL Plastic things under rear window.

    What do I call these? They were under the filler panel behind the rear window. Looked like they maybe should have been touching the glass but they weren't. One had two pieces of rubber on top and another is broken. Is there anywhere I can order new ones? And how am I supposed to use them. I'm...

    Core support to radiator gap.

    I know there are panels that go between the core support and the nose of the car to direct air into the radiator, I'm sure I need those too. 😆 But is there anything that's supposed to fill the gap between the core support and the radiator? I feel like something should prevent air from going...

    Body brace thickness

    I was thinking of making some of the underhood braces. Not so worried about the rad to fender braces. But with the rad support to cowl braces I had originally thought about making them way thicker than stock because they're long. Then I started thinking in a collision they might drive through...

    Driver side of car sits low

    My car always looks like the driver side is sitting lower than the passenger side. Finally took some measurements today. Car parked indoors on a level concrete floor, 30psi in all four tires. Measured from floor to highest point of wheel arch. LF=27" RF=27.5", LR=28.5" RR=29" So I guess the...

    Front frame brace

    I already have the jounce bars and the GP bar installed on my frame. Looks like it will help triangulate some but it all bolts on the bottom. What I'm wondering is if it would be worthwhile to bolt a brace across the top of the frame where the front bumper shocks mount. Would be easy enough to...

    Clutch Interlock switch

    1983 Buick Regal. Converted from v6 &3 speed auto to 350 T5 manual trans. I'd like to add a clutch interlock switch because I've started too many things in gear, lol. No idea how I'd go about doing this because the automatic was all mechanical rods in the steering column.
