Are you painting or dipping your trim? Nice progress! Mine came to a grinding halt. 🙁

I always paint my trim, I scuff it with ScotchBrite and put a couple coats of adhesive promoter on and then I finish it with Duplicolor semi gloss black engine enamel. I have found this to be blacker than the "trim" paints which makes it a better match to the factory black and far more durable.

Dude! I love those AREs!

Dude! I love those AREs!

Yup, me too and I couldn't pass up that deal when I saw them.

So I finished up the interior Today on the Regal, got the upper door panels I made installed finally and the speakers wired up and the rest of the interior installed and added all led lights inside also

Nicely done man! That's a very tastefully done, clean interior.

Looks great!

Looks awesome. Only question is the upper passenger door panel. The middle of the three ridges is longer?

I finally had a little free time to work on the Regal so I put the scoop on and cut the hole for that and also got the Buick hood tack mounted.
I put some paint on the white scoop just to give it some color and then used scotchbrite to make it dull like the hood and just primed the tach since that was white also.

I also recently bought a new 87' GN grill and installed that and started doing mock ups on the front spoiler from GbodyParts, I can tell already the bumper holes are not going to line up so I will have to make some brackets to move the mounting points rearward.

Damn, you do nice work. It's impossible to keep up with you guys but you all provide a lot of inspiration.
