BUILD THREAD JRP's '87 Regal Thread

If we put Cub Cadet decals on the car, would you work on it then?

I've got some leftover decals somewhere...

I'm trying to knock this snow plow out as fast as I can. I haven't made a lot of progress on the car but I've been consolidating projects and avoiding starting any new ones. The Regal is in the queue.

Also I picked up that toolbox which definitely will help increase garage efficiency.

And one last note, I'm getting the 1/4 mile itch... That only a street/strip car can scratch...

It only took me 53 years to get it. Consider yourself lucky if you can itch it before that long.

New Year I guess. No I'm not gonna set a resolution to finish this car. But I'm pretty fücking awful, I haven't touched this poor car. Life has been throwing curveballs the past month or so, kinda had a "lost my job" thing happen (thanks, 'rona) so I'm not exactly swimming in spare cash to throw at this bish. I found work but its nothing glorious and neither is the pay but it's steady hours which is all I can ask right now.

I really want to be neck deep in this car and I'm still itching to make some 1/4 mile passes, just hit some more bumps in the road. I'll get there eventually. Figured I was due for an 'update' so lame as it is, this is all I've got for you folks.

Run the Ferd. You never know, there might actually be something slower at the track.

Have you broke the engine in yet?

Hang in there. I'm dealing with similar setbacks. Had a plumbing issue in my building which destroyed my apartment. Drywall ceilings came down with insulation and flooring ruined.

This year has been hard on everyone. I guess we are only now dealing with the virus here, you guys have dealt with it for the last year. The problem is, these ambitious perfectionists projects can be tough to finish, now is the time. You have done great work, finish it! You have an awesome motor for the car, that 1/4 mile will be ready with the vaccine looming and that Buick 350 should haul *ss with the right converter and gear.

I am sure it will still be there when you are ready.
