Welcome to the forum. That's not a bad looking Regal. How's it look underneath? If the frame and underside of the car isn't eat up with rust you should have a car with plenty of potential. What are your plans for the car?

Welcome - another G saved, looks solid, would suggest fiberglass body fillers. They fit well and reasonable.

Thanks the underneath is in good shape just some surface on the frame the passenger seat door as a spot the deck lid has some but thoes are unboltable an where the emblems where there a little spot, my plan is to build the sbc I have sitting in my garage match that with a th350 or 400 whatever I can get for a good price an go out an enjoy it, probably won't do much to the exterior I like the age on it

Welcome to the forum. That looks like a solid car and with no vinyl roof you know the roof is not rotted. From the stance it looks like someone took the engine from the front and put it in the trunk, it's not a rear engine G body is it?

Yes I need thoes, are these worth there weight in gold cause they seem to be picked off of everyone I've looked at for them

That's why I recommended the fiberglass ones - under $200 for a complete set on e-bay.
