newbie to site, sup

hello everybody. i have a '74 buick regal that was my grandfathers car. i drove it briefly and parked it. its been sitting mostly since '93. i lost the garage space about 9 years ago so it's a bit weathered. my dads car was recently totalled so he asked for it back he's actually getting it painted and restored, me and my brother are doing the pre body work and will put it back together after its painted, its actually been fun but challenging too. its a no option car, but it does have a fancy sonomatic radio and we put power brakes on it a few years back. still cant believe safety was a option. i signed up as kojak cause he drove the same car in the tv series. lol anyway let me know what you guys think jim




ohh, one more teaser of another project

Sweet ride. Not a hole lot of 4 doors around.

I'd say your also doing a '86 Grand National as well.

NICE RIDE Kojak kewl story keep the pics coming and welcome aboard

You know, when Kojak drove that car I hated it, but I have matured and now I am quite drawn to it. Keep up the good work. JB

thanks everybody, took it for paint on friday. hopefully it turns out good. i had him paint my integra and he did a awesome job on it will keep up on progress pics. anyone have bumpers they wanna sell? send me a PM. it's almost impossible to find anything for these cars. yea, it's a '87 GN 74 chick;)

I think the 4door cars would be harder to find too.

Kool stuff.

Welcome to the site! All I can say is "What's NOT to like?" Brown, four door, steel wheels, & even round gauges with a tan interior. She looks like a real sleeper with a lot of potential for sure. Just flip the white walls inside & it will look good! Are you sticking with the same color?

Hey, a car like that just does not look right without WWs. JB
