This build is like a dream build for me. I use to have a 1984 Buick Regal. I dolled it up with a GNX fender flares, GN rear deck and spoiler and GN hood. My ride was all show no go with the stock carbureted V6. Wish I had the cash and knowledge to build it the way you guys set this up. I read an article about a Grey Regal that had upgraded rims 15x8 all around with a -10 offset. 235R60 BFGiodrich

@troyblanchard-cilia8820 3 года назад

Well first comment on any of your videos. I've watched these guys wrench for the longest time and really like the buick build as I have a 85 regal that use to be my fathers back in the day. Love it. And to see you head out and assist others in their own driveway is a interesting bit. Overall though seems like something that gentleman is capable of doing as its only regular maintenance. Just laziness in my opinion. Regardless cool to see you guys out and doing this! Don't see that often at all on other channels. Especially from gentleman like you two. Thanks for the great entertainment:)

Straight ammonia is good for softening tint glue as well... spray it on and put some plastic over it and let it soak for a bit then scrape it off ...there are products specifically made for this process but ammonia is crazy cheap compared to those ... Dollar stores sell it for a buck a half gallon

@kurtbarrett6785 3 года назад

Dang! Really makes me wish I'd a kept at least one of these... Back in HS, in the mid-late 90s, I must have bought and sold 30 of these and other G bodies. Rather than get a lame job that paid squat, I took some doin yard work money and started hittin the tow yard auctions with my uncle. I had a pair of 78 Cutlasses and being I knew them pretty well, I went after all the G bodies I could find. With a family of bodymen, painters, and mechanics, I'd already started pickin up the car repair thing, so it wasn't too big of a deal to swap drivetrains around, and fix crash damage. Made great money for a HS kid and even better, I made probably ten times as much, selling the leftover parts once I discovered Ebay. At least I still have the one 78 that was my first car. Now I'm thinkin the Astro roof Cutlass may need a Regal friend with T tops.

I'm also still not onboard with the bumper holes. Detroit Muscle and Engine Power are the best of all the Power Nation shows.

@ohioplayer-bl9em 3 года назад

I had your cars father. A 1978 buick regal turbo. 3.8 liter turbo with a 4 bbl carb. It looked faster than it was but was a nice car. If I remember correctly the options the original owner got for the car cost about 8 thousand dollars and the base price was around 10 thousand. Unfortunately it was the smaller cast 3.8 liter so it ate head gaskets like crazy.

@TickleFingers 3 года назад

Sooooooooooo much better to use compound and polish with an orbital buffer to clean up that glass. It will also take out some light scratches. I do this on my vehicles every so often. Helps the wiper blades be more effective and last longer too.

@tommyfrombama4834 3 года назад

The Regal is my favorite project in a long time. NBCSN needs to air these episodes on Saturday and Sunday mornings instead of 12:30 am. SMH. Glad I can find it on RU-vid. Dude with the Chevelle should be driving a POS Camry instead of an American classic.

I could never let somebody come to my driveway and work on my car. I've done everything myself. Body work, engine out to change oil pump and pan gasket, built a dual exhaust from scrap pipes from wrecked cars, window tint, interior work, steering and suspension rebuild, heck, there's not much on this thing I haven't touched. Except the things I can't afford to do yet. The only thing I didn't do was mount and balance the tires. And I'd do that myself too if I had the equipment
