Paint!
Been hard at work on the regal. Got the hood, painted most of the parts as well as the frame and firewall. Will be posting lots of pictures in the album of the progress.

Body Work has been started
Started the body work, took out the A/C and heater and covered up with a plate. Getting ready for paint. Also installed a new shifter cable for the scs and started mocking up custom dash and radio plates for the interior. Need to get the hood still and a lot of other parts to replace. (weatherstripping, etc.)

Finally, some more work gets done
This weekend I finally installed the electric fuel pump relay. I also installed the kickdown switch for the TH400 and wow, what a difference that makes in driving, why didn't I do that a long time ago. I had to replace the hose for the vacuum modulator as well, now she actually shifts right. Next up I'm looking at paint so I am going to get a cowl induction hood and do a lot of body work. Lots of other things on my list as well. Still have to take out the heater/ac box and install a cover plate.
