Re: Project RS: Regal Sleeper
Well, this week has been relatively eventful in comparison to the last 3 weeks or so. I just about finished up my badge deletes, I just have a little bit more filling and smoothing out to do on the hood ornament, but it should be less than a half hour of work, so it's done for the mostpart. I got my engine compartment really clean, I'm really satisfied with how it came out. I painted the firewall, fender sides, and rad support as well as the sides of the rad. I cleaned everything else up really well, and it's looking 10x better. I finally cut off all those little pegs that hold on the chrome rocker mouldings (yes, I finally decided I am getting rid of the chrome rocker mouldings) and I then was able to put a first coat of short stand fiberglass filler over them. And tonight I finally began working on my power steering situation, just changing the belt and fluid. The fluid was easy, the belt is the biggest PIA I've yet encountered on this car. I worked on it for about an hour with the hel of my dad, and now I just need to tighten it up. Everything was in the way of everything else, so it has been a nightmarous task. The only thing I haven't yet finished it my tach hookup, and I just need to finish wiring it, no big deal. I do have pictures of all my progress, however, my computer is giving me trouble uploading them, so I will try again tomorrow.

). re-engineer and keep going. I'd def recommend doing the engine project, even if it doesn't end up in your regal, the experience is irreplaceable and worth the time and effort.
