new member--my first g body

[knowyourenemy66]

Hello everyone! I just bought my first gbody on christmas day. 😀 1978 buick regal--'70 chevy 400 4 bolt main with a turbo 350--interior gutted, needs a little body work and all new paint. I will be going the "LESS IS MORE" route--fiberglass/aluminum body panels and bumpers--minimal interior. I will attach pics soon.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm located in Panama City, Fl. Any idea if fiberglass body parts [doors, fenders, bumpers, hoods] are available for a '78 regal? Thanks!

just google 78 regal hoods.
i found a couple for my regal for about 450$

Will an aluminum hood from a 78/79 cutlass fit on my 78 regal?

not sure if the body lines will match or not
