    Thanks, VFN front wrap, dash, deck lid and rear light bumper section. I cut the rear and front to accept lights grill ETC as I want to play with the car on the street.

    Your car is gonna be bad ass. Any goals for the 1/4?

    Was the front end worth the hassle? Any suggestions should some of us try one of those.... I was still toying with the idea of a VFN front. As I still need the bumper and front hedder, oh, and some light bezel stuff.

    Yes, First time I ever tackled anything like this.The instructions were adequate. I set mine up to swivel open as well as detach. The electrical to the lights is a one plug unit for ease of removal. Either way you do it it makes life easy when doing any work up front, well worth the payback in my book. Last time I raced was in 79 car was a 68 GS 4 speed 400 ci. Car ran low 11's inconsistant with the 4 speed lots of wheel spin. 400 had stage 1 heads, Jahns pistons, crane solid, stock crank rods, 660 center squirters. I sold the car in 80 to a guy who tossed the body with plans of putting the running gear in an opel. Long story it never happened I bought the motor back last year and freshened it up. My plan is to patiently wait for TA's new big block. In the mean time I 'm hoping to make it to the strip this year to see how it performs with an automatic ( Art Car 350 with trans brake ) and a more aero-dynamic body..........Mike

    The '79 pic looks cool. By the looks of it, I am going to say your past experience with Buicks should lend it self well for the regal :grin:
