Default Hello all! Buick Regal T-Type

Hey all. I'm picking up a Regal T-Type tomorrow. The body itself is in good shape but it's gonna need a lot of work. The engine's seized and who knows what else it may need. I'll find out once I start tearing it apart.

I got a chance to browse through the site and a lot of valuable info on here. A lot of members have some crazy rides as well. Hopefully I can be at the same level one day. I'm sure i'll have a lot of questions along the way. Looking forward to all the input.

just an update....i tore into it and it's bad. basically the body is trash. the floors, trunk pan and fire wall are all swiss cheese. doors also need new skins. that's just the beginning. replacement metal isn't available from what i've seen.

i'm going to have to find a clean regal and turn two vehicles into one. i don't know if i want to get into that right now.....will have to do a bit of contemplating here. perhaps keep this on the sidelines and pick up something that won't take so long to get up to speed......
