The Evil Regal ~ 1978 Buick Regal (NO 56k!)

Hey, sorry I haven't checked this in a while. (i guess notifications were off) I just got the Front suspension upgraded with a PST Polygraphite super kit, a S-10 manual steering box and some new shoes and brake parts for the 9" etc. To answer your questions the full interior is still in, I did not lose the rear seat you just have to cut out the rear floor sections to weld in the crossmsmber for the ladder bars and cover it back up with sheet metal afterwards. The wheel and tire sizes I am running are (Street Setup: 195/70r14 on a 14X6 front; 275/60r15 on 15X8 (w/ 4.5" BS i think) (Track Setup:195r15's on 15X3.5 front; 28X11.5/15 Hoosier QTP on 15X8.5 centerlines(i think its also 4.5" BS)
The ladder bars are from S&W racecars(double adjustable) as are the coilovers (S&W pro/series 2000) and panhard bar. I haven't brought it to the track since putting them in, i'll let you know when i do bring it how it does. Thanks for the comments.

Hey, thanks for the comments. She does pull pretty hard Next up is to remove the heater and A/C box, plate it back up and do some body work including a new cowl hood as well as some new front adjustable drag shocks.

[Evil_Regal]

There is a panhard bar mounted on the rear, you can see it in the suspension pics

Nice set up. Thats a sweet car and you deff. have a drivetrain that can handle a lot more! Get some paint on her and it'll be set. Nice job
