Project No Mercy - 85 Buick Regal

[Buick Motorsports]

I have been painting most of my performance engine Cast-Blast as a sign or calling card. I do how ever give customer choice for colors.
Its super tough and you can clear it also so it lasts longer. They also sell one called Aluma-Blast too for the clean aluminum look.
We faked out some dirt buner types as I did a fellas street stock car engine and we wanted to fake them out after the rules finally letting in aluminum intakes changed so we painted it all Aluma-Blast. Funny thing was we built it as a short stroke (3.25) 400 and used an old World block, was awesome to see him run away from everyone (and the fact the GMPP heads had GM casting numbers and passed tech). Dont get me wrong most of the other guys were cutting off the ends of stock cylinder heads and welding them to aftermarket heads, heck they were even cutting out the casting numbers and having them welded in too. WE just used some old worn out heads.
We have since gave up on the round dirt dyno.
He is now Pro touring his grandmothers 72 Grand Am! He has a huge by large 600CID (I think) Poncho coming and then we get to have fun as I believe its aluminum block.
Anyway Cast Blast block paint.

Thanks for the recommendtation Monza. Do you have any photos you can post?

Well things have been slow to date...but the parts are starting to arrive. The first, are the Arizen Seats:


I have to say, that I am nothing short of impressed with these seats. they exceeded my expectations.
Also, at this point the build up of my 406 has gotten underway. I am expecting a shopping list from my builder sometime today.
Soon I will start taking the buick apart to prepare it for the 406. Update the fuel system, some minor painting and cleanup of the engine bay.
My post should become more frequent.

Holy crap, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the black embroidery!!! It's subtle and understated and clean. It's one of those little details that's really going to stand out when the car is done, I'm sure. Nice choice!

Thanks Todd,

I want the car to be a head turner, but I still want the subtle details that people sometimes have to look twice to catch.

Hey Jason, you gonna get Arizen to do a matching rear seat cover? (I noticed they do that)

[racereno]

As a side note on our G-body interiors, I just got a quote for less than $1400 from Arizen for 2 seats and matching rear seat cover, all in full leather (all panels)!! You can't argue with those prices

hows the build coming along??

Love the seats!! They probably would have killed my budget though. Its amazing the paint is in such good shape regardless of mileage. Noice!
