Finally got around to getting some paint on my Regal.  I have been working on this car for 7 years, new engine, new trans, new rear end and completly redid the body.  All bodywork and paint work was done by me and I am very pleased with how it turned out. shocked  Heres some pics

Those were taken the day I hauled it out of the paint booth.  It is almost to bright to look at directly in the sun.  The next few are after a day at home tinkering.

Thats my new car alarm  grin

Still got some small stuff to do to it but it is coming together nice.  Will get some more pics up as I get more done.  Let me know what you think.

Thanks guys it has been alot of work but it is well worth it in the end.  Had it out for a spin on the road in front of my house and I have to say that it is going to take some getting used to driving on the street  .  Nice to hear the turbo spool again.   Boost rules

I like it, but those headlight covers are kinda dated.

Yeah the headlight covers are 10-15 years ago.  Think I'm gonna try a DIY HID conversion on the headlights and then put my new bezels on.  Old bezels have velcro tabs on them for the covers. 

The dog is quite a ham whenever the camera is out.  Its like he knows exactly what it is, he's a pretty smart dog and friendly too.  I will get some more pics up soon.

Thanks for the replies, got some more work done to it, almost 100% back together.  Got some little issues to work out and hopoefully get it out soon.  That is if it doesn't sell.  Got some other stuff that needs to be taken care of before the car is out as a driver.  Like a saying I heard awhile back  "you can sleep in your car, but you can't race your house".  How true that is.   Well heres to hoping it doesn't sell.    Thanks again.    Chris

Uploaded some new pics, changed my email address with photobucket and it deleted my other pics.  Haven't had any bites on my white Regal yet, seems people just want the silver one.  Oh well didn't want to sell it anyway, have owned it for almost 16 yrs, it has survived buying a house and having a child.  Thinking it is a keeper, time to start picking away at it again and get it back on the street.

Well I took some advice and removed my ugly headlight covers, velcro and glue.  I think the car looks so much better without them.  I also made some clear marker lights and park light/signal light covers for the bumper.  Just need to get some LED bulbs to finish it off. 

Heres some new pics.
