    Haven't done a dang thing since salvaging my 455 from my burnt Regal.

    I want to build another 455 Regal ....

    Here's what's up so far.... I'm getting a 87 GN frame , with some very stout front end suspension parts included.

    What needs to be done first .... disassemble and inspect my "burnt" 455 engine, 200r4 Transmission, and my GN 8.5 Rear end.

    Currently looking at a 83 Regal , that's been sitting for years , "seems and appears" to be solid , (no title though)

    Or my current 86 GN shell, roller , been sitting for years disassembled and stripped down ( can't remember how to put it back) , and I believe the metal around the T-tops is rusted good. and it needs quarters.

    So need MOTIVATION !!! Got any pics or videos to get my ass motivated?

    Thanks Guys

    First crack of the motor after we got it wired up in my regal. Thanks again for the info about frame pads! My radiator is on it's way and hopefully have the car on the road by the end of the month!

    Chris, Saw the threads on the fire and what you recovered. You sound like you're getting yourself motivated and hope you get another one going soon. I have not been too active with anything lately, but had some time this week to get my '80 moving along. Like going a mile an inch at a time. Too much other stuff taking the time lately. Some shots of mine attached, lots of detail work yet to finish.
