Just finished up some odds and ends on my BBB regal, still going through and doing some re-wiring. Found out this was originally a somerset regal! Any others out there!?

You gonna miss the heat/ac?

I like it a lot, obviously a nice weather car.

Haven't had A/C in a car since 2008, even my DD lol. But heat...I might get one of the universal heat kits for hot rods down the line. Hell I might look into the A/C delete box for these too.

That's pretty cool, plus that car looks solid. I love the Regal/455 combo. I just put one on the road last week, after a long frame off resto. It's an 83 with the later front end. The 455 is from my 76 LeSabre. I hit the track with it the other day, ran mid 11s on dot tires. I have the front suspension ripped back out already- ditching the poly bushings going back to rubber. Hoping for high 10s on street tires next time. No slicks here, it's a street car. I drive 45 miles to the track, run it, and drive home.
All I have is a dusty engine pic. I have been driving it a lot. Why do all of this if you don't drive it..

I always thought it would be neat to see a regal with a 455 done in a GSX theme.

Wow quicksabre! Really like that car! Under hood looks great! Really thought out! What hood is that? Looking to replace the factory hood with the goofy riveted on cowl. Been looking for a good brand, and yours looks to be of great quality! Got any specifics on the combo? That car is basically 100% of what I'm trying to achieve! Would love to see more of it!!

Custom inner fenders too? Really love that regal!

Were the polyurethane bushings too harsh?
