1987 Buick Regal Build

[joesregalproject]

I got a turbo GN hood, and a set of chrome headlight and taillight bezels and an 84-85 grille. I have some pictures of the hood, but I forgot to take some of the trim pieces, so I'll get some of those up later.

Edit: New Pics Uploaded- I fitted the hood properly last night, and I got the new chrome stuff all polished up.

The gooey quarter window picture just cracks me up. Her in New Mexico, they don't use the factory butyl sealer stuff when they replace glass because it just melts in the endless sun we enjoy here.

Keep up the progress. Too bad the links to some of your first posts' pictures weren't broken.

Nice!

Nice!

Thanks! I'm getting really excited for paint, but I still have some filler work to do on the pillars and on the driver's side quarter in front of the rear wheel, and my garage is far too cold to be doing filler work (it is 24 degrees today) but once it warms up I am anticipating finishing the filler work rather quickly and getting it in primer. I hope that paint will happen this summer. I have yet to see the car in one uniform color, lol. But it is sitting in a garage right now and it isn't getting snowed on, so as long as it stays there until it warms up, I think I'll be in good shape come spring.

P.S. Sorry for the upside-down pics, damn iPad!

We're playing the weather waiting game here too so I totally understand. That's why I'm on my stupid computer right now instead of in the shop doing actual work. The ironic thing is that I picked up a furnace a few weeks ago. It's just too cold to install .

Long live the Regals! nice work.

Thanks! It'll hopefully all pay off once I get it painted. I'm literally jumping out of my skin excited to have this thing painted, hopefully this summer. I'll keep you guys updated.

Color?

 

[joesregalproject]

Kirker Dark Garnet Red Metallic- it's actually darker than it appears in this picture, but this is the example they give on the site.
