Stopped by AZRegal's house yesterday evening to pick up the visors and headliner. He has one CLEAN regal, I was very impressed on the work he has done to it. Interior looks like it just left the showroom clean. I was personally going to go buckets, but after seeing his I am leaning more and more to keeping my 60/40 bench and just recover the interior. IT WAS THAT IMPRESSIVE.
On a side note after he found out I was going to go with a 2004r and the 8.5 and still needed to get a drive shaft shortened or one made. He offered me one from a Cutlass 442 that had the same combo that would fit perfectly. Again a stand up guy!
Hey Jake, if you get a chance to read this. Thanks again, It was fun shooting the sh*t with you, wish I could have stayed a bit longer but the wife was getting hangry lol .
It was truly a pleasure to meet you. Checking out your ride really motivated me to get mine done. Maybe in the future once both builds are done we can take them for a cruise. If you ever need anything or just a helping hand don't hesitate to reach out to me, I am only 25 min away 🙂

finally got it rolling. tomorrow ill pull it out the garage to pressure wash all the crud off.
Thanks for the kind words. I need to come check out your ride too. I lucked into finding a rarely driven low mile 3 owner Regal. Like I told you this is the exact twin to the car I bought myself in highschool. In 1992. I bought an 8 year old buick Regal for $500 back then. These cars used to be everywhere and cheap. This one needed all the fabric parts on the inside replaced. That is where I started. I plan on doing a frame off resto in the near future. I am just collecting parts right now. I drive the Regal now so I went a head and fixed the interior.

I will let you know if I need anything and vice versa. (come off those sweet tail ights, I need a new passenger side chrome. LOL.) And Absolutely we need to go for a cruise once these are both done.
You mean you don't have them mounted on the car yet? C'mon man, get with it lol!
How are the tires on those 17's?
LOL I am at work or they would be mounted haha.. 2 tires are good the other 2 need to be replaced but hold air. For now I just need them to roll if I like the wheels I will get some new ones eventually.
