1983 Buick Regal Daily Driver Budget Build

[85Frankencar]

Man, you're always doing something, lol - awesome build, though, can't wait to see the finished product. Just a suggestion, for the interior, I'd suggest using SEM paint - it's more expensive, but def worth it - I did my interior with it & it came out really nice and the low luster clear looks good too. Good luck, looking forward to seeing more

I try to do work when I can lol, I used duplicolor because its cheap and I had good results with it on my last regal. This one gets all low dollar bang for buck products for the most part. You know I gotta sprinkle in a few goodies though bit nothing too big. I ended up going with flat black btw and still trying to get some red in there somehow. Thanks for the encouragement.

Ok so I've been plugging along and no matter how much I get done its like its never enough. Between work, family stuff and the lack of work I just don't have the time nor money to really get this damn car done as fast as it should. Fret not I'm gonna finish, just not as fast as I'd like. Just yesterday i was installing a shift kit into my 200-4r and what do I find? Broken servo spring and 3-4 Accumulator is missing the spring (that cant be good right?). Should I even bother with this trans or just get it rebuilt (that will make the damn car sit for even longer).

BTW the rebuilt sbo 403 is going into this car not the sbc 350 due to it just being too rough for my likening. And why have a freshly rebuilt motor just sit in the garage thats just silly right? It would've been cool to have a turbo 6 or a buick 350/455 but I gotta make due with what I have. I did love the stock 76sbo 350 that was in the other regal so this should be 10x better.

Maybe you can help me out bro, the 307 just got the goodyear quite belts put on and it's a screeching noise and I only here it when I start up the car or when I'm on the E- way and I hit it real hard what do you think that is
