i decided it was about time i got some pictures on here. my main project is a 84 regal that i am going full blown custom with. i am doing a full frame up build on it so the body is off of the frame with a new frame waiting for paint right now. thhis is my second time building this car, the first time it had 3 month old paint and a 3 day old sbc install and a gold volvo semi truck ran a red turn signal and destroyed the front end of the car. the car was 95% rust free so i had the frame pulled but it was still not right so i traded some boat parts for a rust free southern frame that has been sandblasted and epoxy sealed and waiting for paint. i am not building the car to be super fast but it is based more on performance then anything but is ultimatly a custom show car and cruiser. this car will never be a trailer queen! most of the stuff i am going to list i either already have or have done, i am missing a few minor parts to complete it. next on the list is to get the frame painted and get the rolling chasis done with all of the new parts and get the underside of the body sandblasted and undercoated so i can get the bosy back on the frame. after that i am onto painting the fire wall, jambs and mocking up the body panels to get ready for paint. i dont even know where to start but i will list it out some.

here are some old old pics of the regal
my 90 eldorado, this is a rare one, it has a factory moon roor which is rare by itself but it also has a delaer installed e&g simulated convertable top. i love this car to death!!
this is my 85 Riviera. this is a arizona rust free car. my mom bought it to replace her 84 and when we got it we hated the color, we have since grown to love the color. this car has been in my family for years and as soon as the regal and cutty are done it is getting a fresh base/clear but otherwise kept stock besides the wheels.
