I know this isnt a big money car like alot on this site, and its not a really great pro-touring car but it is pointed in that direction. I figured id show you guys some pics of my newest addition. I have been enjoying the crap out of the car for about a week now. I love it and it gets along great with my other cars in the garage so hopefully it will stay with me for awhile.
the car rides around with a nitrous tune so it only made 360 horsepower on motor but it made 486 on ONLY a 100 shot of the juice, those #'s are to the tire.
enjoy: :smooth:

beautiful car! Nice choice of wheels, love the all black and nice clean look. You should check into the tinted taillight covers they make for those.

no the front windshield is tinted but all the other windows are 5%
the bumpers have been shaved so there are no bumperettes anymore front or rear, also has shaved door handles and all the emblems/locks are shaved.
I dont wanna tint the taillights I really like how the stock tails look from the back, but I might black out the marker lights I havent decided yet. I will also be blacking out the chrome windshield trim.
The rear tires are way too small! Im going to be putting some 275/40/18's back there soon and lowering it down in the back just a tad.

Your 83 is lookin good! Nice wheel package with the black on black look. I'm fan of G-Body cars an you represented right! Check me out in the coming months I'm currently building a Ttype and WE11 Grand National.

Nice pics!
Sweet ride!! the no bumperettes look is sharp, not even the bumper pad, way sharp.
Mine was a 82, still got the header, grll and lights, just cant seem to find bumper fillersfor that year.
Switched to the 84-87 tailights too, they seem to fit the appearance of the Regal better.
When you "black out " the chrome how did you do that?

You got 360 to the rear wheels with a HOT cam? That's pretty good. Hmmm I wonder what my CC306 would be then.:woot:

I dont know how accurate those numbers are b/c I dont have the dyno sheet but thats what the guy who built it said it did. I have a local friend with a completely stock internal lt1 with full boltons that made over 330 to the tire. I dont think the numbers on this car sound that off compared to others I know but id like to get the actual numbers in hand.
How do you like the cc306? Ive heard good things about it, I know they have that and the cc503 but I always get them comfused Idk which is the bigger one. Im not a huge fan of this lt4 i mean it idles like stock, it doesnt sound like there is a cam at all.

When you "black out " the chrome how did you do that?
This is how I do it, could be wrong or somebody knows better but it how I was taught.
Take the chrome pieces, hit with a da sander with a pad and some 180 and get it nice a rough (swirls in the chrome). Spray a metal etching primer, possibly two coats, then dry. Take you a smaller grit 220 or 320 sand paper and littley rough that up, spray your sealer, then paint, then clear. Just my two cents

The only thing I don't like on your car is on your list to change .
That is blacking out the front window trim.

from the autocross... the #'s were supposed to be 37 followed by the abbreviation for the class the car was in but I forgot what the letters were so I just put "WTF" it was pretty funny hearing the announcer say it when I pulled up to the line.

What is the reason behind changing rims? Are you wanting to run more tire? I can understand changing for that reason, but not for a different style, because those look great.
