Got the Grand National Bumpers on the car. Next year I am stripping her down. Hopefully the Health holds and don't get set back again. I was in the middle of swapping the 5 speed in and had a stroke. I couldn't with a walker but I still crawled under the car and had to turn the flywheel by hand because the plugs were out of the engine. I had to do this every few days to keep the cylinder walls shiny, it was a brand new engine with less than 1000 miles on it, I had built it and just put in there a few months before..

Looks sweet, I just picked up a used set of gn air dams for mine and im still waiting for them. The guy finally shipped them friday after waitng two weeks :roll: gotta love ebay either my parts get here in two days or two months. Sorry to hear about the stroke thats no fun, I'd like to eventually put a stick in my regal too ... someday can't have it all at one I guess hell I'll be happy to just get mine on the road again this summer.
 
Looks Good, now all you have too do is take off that hood emblem 😀 ,
I also am in the process of swapping in a 5 speed, just trying to round everything up so I can do it all at once.
Along with the 5 speed I am rebuilding a 350 that will be the all so well know 383 everybody has, wanted a 400 but couldnt find one in my neck of the woods. I also would have rather had a T56 but I seem to be smack dab in the middle of nowhere, where these parts are unheard of. I just got the set of buckets in that I got off of malibukid on here, I am trying to figure out where I need to cut the hole in the trans. tunnel for the shifter. I guess I can wait until I set the motor and transmission in(without the shifter) and just mark the spot right above the shifter hole to make the cut. I was curious as to how you were going to run the cross member for the trans, mine goes at an angle unlike the Monte Carlo that goes straight across. I would like to see more pics of your build if ya got em'.
Glad your doing good, after I was sick and came home from the hospital, I had my motorcycles carbs to keep me company. They kept me busy and my mind off what was going on, I focused my attention on them so I didnt have time to be bothered by other things.
 
Hey, don't feel bad. If I had a car that nice... with a 5-speed, I'd have a stroke too. My car's shitty, so all I get is mild heartburn.
