Haven't done much to the old Regal lately since installing new shocks and installing new headliner. I justordered an a/c kit so I can get the cool air flowing again. Hopefully gonna get installed next week.

I purchased new bumper fillers a few months ago. Went with fiberglass. I wasn't sure if I could install them or not. Heard they could be hard to get fitted. On Friday, I started on the rear ones, took rear bumper off, got what was left of the old fillers removed and believe it or not, got the new ones on. Saturday, got the front ones installed! They look awesome!

Getting it painted next! Hopefully in a month or two. Gonna keep it the original color. Looking forward to getting her looking great again!

The AC will make summer a lot easier to deal with. Let's see what those new bumper fillers look like!

Nice! Those fillers look good. Your interior is the same color as mine except yours looks nicer. Is that an original dash without any cracks? I'm digging this clean Regal. Got any more pics?

Thanks Opie! Yeah, that is the original dash. I'll try to get some more pics. Getting a/c done this weekend, hopefully get the dent in passenger door fixed soon.

Hey, thanks! Go by Mickey all the time. Just retired from Thomas Built Buses. Just got the a/c going again today! Cooling great! Yes, I have been to the Thursday night cruise, but haven't had the Regal down there yet. My Mom's car. She passed away a little more than a year ago. Got to get a little dent fixed on passenger door. Trying to get new paint soon. Hope to see you at the cruise in soon.

Trying to find a passenger door for my Regal. Got a pretty good dent in it, my body guy said it would be better to find a good door rather than trying to repair it. Might be hard to find one.

You'd be better off trying to repair the door than trying to find a rust free door.
