BUILD THREAD JRP's '87 Regal Thread

[Texas82GP]

Thanks Jared. I'm glad to be doing something with it. I have a little time off work and I've been guilt tripping over my lack of progress. My work schedule *should* be changing to become a bit more regular soon, which will help. Lately it's just been work and sleep. Admittedly I'm bad at managing my time but my haphazard work schedule hasn't helped any.

I do miss the truck and I certainly miss rowing my own gears, but the new truck is sooo good. Good Lord is it nice. It's super quiet inside, everything works the way it's supposed to, there are no squeaks or rattles and the EcoBoost seriously hauls *ss. It's well equipped on creature comforts too.

The silver lining is that I don't have a cool retro looking truck to cruise around in, so I have to get busy on the Regal if I want to get back to being my attention wh*re self.

Believe me, I get it. These cars are a hobby. You have to have the time, money and drive, all at the same time to really make progress. When the time is right, it will happen.

I accomplished slightly more today. I dissected that sheet metal sandwich that was up front and made some sense of it. Spent most of my time doing that. Slowly getting to where I need to be.

I'm not gonna lie, that sheet metal sandwich scares the hell out of me because my dad's car probably has the same thing going on.

It wasn't as bad as it looked once I started pulling it apart. I still don't 100% have a game plan for how I'm gonna fit a new piece just yet so I'll sleep on it. I want to try to save the green piece but replace the red section behind it.
