Well i do have a black regal with a turbo being installed when the weather isnt puking white cold stuff everywhere.

Photoshop that GN lump on the W-Regal, I bet it works. Just like it sits on the GN.

Yeah the lump was offset on the elder boosty ones. I think my friend's mom's turbo regal was a 78 and was that way. Boost gauge was a bar graph on the back of it I think. It wasn't real impressive but the lump was cool.

I really want one of those cars but the interior, man it kills me

This one isnt too bad.


Here is the GN bump

I kinda like the GN lump, maybe stretched out. I'd have to see it from a traffic angle. The other one looks kinda inflatable wacky flailing arms bounce house to me. But my opinions on style are rarely popular, to each his own. If you could make it look more like a Pontiac, that would be good!

More gp like you say?

The DIY cowl isnt too bad but im liking that GN bump more.

That is a GP hood. See how it doesn't line up with the headlights or grill?

Yeah i know. But he did say more gp like lol

Please... NOOOOO! Is that pink pins? AAAaaaaaaaa (runs, screaming) Yes, GN lump. Somebody out there must have done it already. Looks like easy metal fab on a GN lump, just nail down size and shape in posterboard first.

I think it is more consistent with the classy more than sporty Regal look, jmo.

Im also in the middle of making this kind of grill. I based it off of the bad azz grill from regalgs.org because i thought it looked a little bland without the emblem

My bad, and yeah welcome aboard! School these GP wannabes. I should have said "I think the lump was offset on the elder boosty ones". Thanks for clearing that up though. I was there but it was a long time ago and I didn't care because both those cars were smoggo wheezers with no displacement.

is this a gp hood? it looks to long. like its upper lip is to long lol

see how it dips past the grill top some.
