    Yeah it has been awhile....low funds, lackluster performance from the Regal, and issues with it to boot.

    Plus a crappy computer.

    Had serious timming issues, (no mecanical advance), carb problems ( vacum leak, and secondaries would hang open easy), lock-up trans worked off and on, suspension,Starter.... ect, ect.

    Well all seems to be working great now,(knock on wood) and has been a joy to get to drive the Regal this summer, in fact It made it the GS Nats, the BPG Nats and back this year with 2 adults and a 15yr old growing teen boy this year.

    I think I averaged around 17-19 mpg on the highway with us and a trunk load of tools tires and luggage.

    Then I let my 17 yr daughter Drag race it at Bunker Hill drag strip in the 1/8 th mile. Now shes hooked ....damn.

    Looking to lower it a bit to get rid of that 4x4 look in the front ,and also get the correct size tires on the front.

    Dunno if I ever will get it painted (at this rate at least) everybody around here knows my car, and if I do I might forget where I aprked cause look like everyone elses.

    SO maybe S.E.M.'s Nuclear Gator Green, or "08" Viper Snakeskin Green... now those colors ya just dont see every day.

    Until then...as is or at least primered flat black or sumthing.
