Thanks for the kind comments on my lemans,  Now let's get more pictures of your regal with fresh paint.

Buy the way, there is no way my buddies can talk me into a sbc for my ride.  The 400 goes done this winter

Love It!!  Nice to see something different.  Always like the lines on the Buick and Olds better than the Chevys.

Thanks for the comment Dean it will be close to the same color but will be slightly more purple.
The headers I used was from hedman but had to be modified to fit.

Hey man, cool Buick.  Nothing like a nice old school g body to put newer cars to shame.  Will you paint it the same color or change things up a bit.  What kind of headers did you use
