Project No Mercy - 85 Buick Regal

[Buick Motorsports]

Afternoon,

Well the fun is about to begin. I've had the suspension in the car for while now. Now I get to start the fun stuff, I purchases a ratted out 75 Caprice with a bone stock 400 in it. Let the building begin, mods that will be updated in here as I proceed over the next few weeks:

Arizen Racing seats - Ordered
Engine build up - to start next week
3.42 Posi upgrade
Th350 build-up - started

For those of you that have read this, I want to paint the engine block a gunmetal or charcaol color. Who out there can recommend some paint?
I am going for the very industrial look in this engine bay.

CHROME I DON'T NEED NO STINKIN CHROME!

I will post pictures tomorrow of the Buick and that ratted out Caprice donor car.

Here are some pics of my car as it sits today:




Here is the donor car and the nasty motor that will become the POWERplant.



Edited to fix broken links.

Well things have been slow to date...but the parts are starting to arrive. The first, are the Arizen Seats:



I have to say, that I am nothing short of impressed with these seats. they exceeded my expectations.

Also, at this point the build up of my 406 has gotten underway. I am expecting a shopping list from my builder sometime today.

Soon I will start taking the buick apart to prepare it for the 406. Update the fuel system, some minor painting and cleanup of the engine bay.

My post should become more frequent.
