Thread: Buick Regal.... TRUCK.

the only part i dont like is how the regal body lines dont flow with the s 10 bed. in this pic you can see the rocker dont match up, and top where the cab meets the bed, the cab should have been made a bit higher to match the bed height.

other than that, thats some real good body and fab work all around. i bet it was hard to get it to line up the bed using the regal frame.

I'd buy it and S/C it.

Wonder how much it weighs...

ROFL

I like this style better

That's pretty cool. I would have used a park ave though

i like the 60's through early 70's. 72 is where it all ends for me really.

that goes for chevelle's as well.

Can't tune an Elco with HPT.
Don't want classic car problems.

what problems? a distributor and a carb? the good old days when you tuned by ear....and lighter weights in the distributor, and a timing light?

it was all easy to do before the computers took over every last aspect of the cars ability to even run/start. and the cars back then had room to work on the engine under the hood, spark plugs almost fell out on their own. unless you had a BBC in a el camino or chevelle with headers, and a/c, then #7 plug was a pita. 3 or 4 universal swivels lol and sometimes taking a hammer to the pipe to make some room.

i see less problems tuning the older cars. a good timing light cost what? 50 bucks? and worked on every car under the sun. and hpt costs?.........

the times, they are a changing.

has bill seen this? well it makes me want a holden ute

Maybe i don't like having to dick with the carb/distributor when i travel.

yeah popping the hood and turning 2 screws is hard....

Yes.

Speaking of lines... did you guys notice the FRONT fenders are S-10 Fenders he blended in so the body lines above the wheels on the bed matched? :P

He also said he built a custom rat rod that used all kinds of parts... mentioned a windshield from an Envoy. lol
