Hi
I live in Australia, and own a bunch of 50s and 60s cars. I'm coming back to the US in a few months for vacation and am thinking about picking up a Regal to bring back. I like the GN of course, but I want to put a spare BBC I have in the car and just make something that has the GN look. Figure I might as well pick up a cheap car as I'll just dump the drivetrain. Can you guys let me know what model I should be looking for and what trim I'll need to buy? I gather the bumpers, headlight surrounds and grill are different. Can the old stuff be stripped and painted and match the GN look if I get a chrome car? From what I can see, the body panels all seem to be the same on the plain Regals except the hood. Is that right or are the fenders and quarters flared more on the turbo cars?
Thanks!
