Mean78Regal, There is a guy I sold a 8.5 rear end to in Omaha, Neb on here that has a early regal. He's still working on it last I heard. That was a little over a year ago. I believe he goes by Supercrackerbox on here. Funny thing is we met in Ames, Iowa to complete the sale. I am originally from Ames and was going there to visit relatives.
And would you believe I just finally got that rear hung under the car about a month ago? And only to get the car mobile at that- it will be coming back out before long as I'm gearing up to remove and restore the frame and suspension. I recently put a deposit on a 1000sq.ft. shop that I'll be moving everything to over Labor Day weekend, at which point I can finally get some progress made.
But yeah, mark up another '78 on here, the second one I've owned actually. Lost the first, a Sport Coupe, to midwest body rot. The current Limited is amazingly rot free, and I'm going through everything to make sure it stays that way. The Limited will be more or less ressurected as my beloved Sport Coupe, albeit with many improvements along the way, hence the need for the 8.5" rear.
BTW, I'm badly in need of some excellent condition tail lights and the black plastic bumper trim . . . :wink:
