BUILD THREAD 1986 Regal Project by 565bbchevy

I will revisit that at a later date and I want to do more research on flashers before I buy another one.

Makes sense, if I can be any help just lemme know.

I like how well my Holley Street Avenger carb runs and drives and how it starts when it is cold, so I decided to just keep a carb instead spending the money on a Fitech or Holley Sniper set up but I did want a carb that had some more of the features I am used to so I bought the Ultra version in red that has a billet baseplate and metering blocks along with 4 corner idle and clear sights in the bowls and it actually runs smoother since I can tune the idle circuit better and the bonus is it looks prettier.

I also bought the stay down licence plate holder for a Fbody and installed that, it fit well with no issues and works well with very little spring tension compared to the Gbody version.

I finished my Power sunroof install on the Regal, I would have preferred an in built like my Monte but not in the budget for the Regal.
This is a "spoiler style" that opens and goes over the roof.
This one vents, has 2 memory buttons to save a position and closes with the ignition being turned off but can be stopped if you hit a button within 5 seconds.
And it also has a sunshield.

The sunroof came with a template for the roof and one for the headliner, I did have to cut a brace to fit it.

I had some extra new headliner material so I covered the inside trim with that and glued it on.

That looks awesome!!

Thanks, I was surprised at how little headroom was sacrificed for the install.

I finished my Lauren Eng. ground effects install and then refit the fender flares.

So I decided to just spray paint the rest of the Regal black until I actually get a paint job, I did the decklid and hood in flat black to keep it looking like a project car.

And then I finally washed it for the second time since I bought it.
