That is a beutiful ride. Scrap the emblems, but the wheels look good.

Nice, well done...keep that thing. To me, just knit picking, the front looks a bit high and the exhaust needs to come out behind the rear tires, not straight out ..... for an authentic look. Those tires the stock size? Look a little big...but I could be full of shat on that one.

Ciao!

Nice car.. you should change the grill for appearance sake, tho. The 86 grill is different than the 87... that chrome strip isnt there on the 87s.

I dunno if you put 2 and 2 together but Im also an administrator over on TurboBuick.Com and have been doing Turbo Regal stuff for over 20 years. Here's a shot of what we've been working on.






Here's a link to the buildup thread if you're interested.

Yea, it's a bit low in the back or high in the front.. Not sure yet which. A new set of shocks is going on tomorrow. And the exhaust will get fixed up soon, too. I think the tires are bigger than stock. I am going to do some research and find out what the stock sizes were and maybe change them out.

Thanks Jay!

I am already looking into an 87 grill. I agree, the car needs that in a bad way.

Damn, that's a bad ass Regal! I'm gonna go read up on that build.


Hey, since you're tha Admin over there, hopefully you can help me out with some username issues I'm having there. I'll PM ya in just a few.
