The 82 - 87 Buick regal was a beautiful design. Best looking of all the g-bodies. Better than the Monte Carlo IMO.

[@betosgarage]

Show us ways to tuck bumpers or replace the fillers with sheet metal . Every g body owner knows the struggle on those fillers , expensive to replace

The bumpers on the buick look awful with all those holes. I love those cars I had a 1983 Buick regal when I was a kid until someone ran a red light and t-boned me . Miss that car

[@TheHelado36]

Blair A totally agree with you, I also had one with the shifter on the floor , but it was a v6. Some old lady crash her car on the quarter panel and that was the end!

Speed holes they make you go faster 😆

[@benjaminfranklyn604]

Drag cars have holes in the rear bumper to reduce drag. Honda drag racer made it first and it use those a lot and it helps. He actually trying to shave time. He it might even make a good fuel saver by reducing drag on the rear bumper. Is just a bumper it could be replace anycase he goes to a classic car show.

Nice work Tommy.

[@toms5oh]

Love that blue F100!

[@LunarOutlawsGarage]

This is a neat idea for the twin turbo 6.0 LS 1971 Buick GS I am building on my channel. It was sitting for 40 years so it is a little rough and it needs to be fully restored the frame I’m using is down at the sandblaster so I really have a lot of free reign of what I can do. Doing something like this early on and will allow me to make sure it looks right and is painted to match the car. I may still look into more of a GSX spoiler or an aftermarket fiberglass, or carbon fiber depending on what I can afford

[@kingcustomgarage66]

Good work 👍

[@mrbigg7255]

Them threaded pop rivet things are cool.

[@ThisIsSolution]

That "spoiler" is hideous lol im laughing my ass off over here

[@WISKEYGHOST]

Saw a lot of people asking about the blue F-100. 1975 F-100 previously owned by David Freiburger. (You can see the truck in its previous condition on Roadkill's Buick Wagon episode. Original single cab short box truck, used to be green and white. Fully restored/rebuilt. Replaced the stock 390FE with a 460 running on Sniper EFI which recently was swapped out for a Coyote. It has I believe a skyjacker 6" lift and 35s. I havent worked there for a while but that really it on this truck, the rest of it was mostly basic catalog parts.

[@Pgcmoore]

outstanding!!!

Now, if you really want to show your skills, do an articulated spoiler. You know one that will reduce drag going down the road and will, when activated, provide downforce in the curves!

[@ericmcginnis9413]

@15:00 when he has the throttle body on the table, look at the gap around the outer edge of the throttle body valve between the valve and the housing! To me it looked excessive but then again I might be wrong! The butterfly or flap valve had a sizable gap all of the way around it which would to me allow too much air in but again maybe in wrong maybe the hemi's require that much air at idle!

Tasteful and not gaudy thats pretty funny because the whole car is tasteless and gaudy. That project is a loser right out of the gate.

[@estpst]

The regal was a nice car in the day, and the T-Type and GN looked good. This looks like a hack job with things just stuck on. Make it look better by adding on a Chevy Monte Aero Coupe rear glass and trunk, maybe make the nose a wedge shape.

[@user-neo71665]

Yeah more downforce on the rear of a g-body. They always need another reason to lift the front up and twist the frame like a pretzel. Whats next a fart can and neon lights under it? This show has evolved into a trainwreck. Used to watch it for ideas and great builds, now it's just to laugh.

[@mchristr]

Nicely done on the spoiler. If more people understood "aggressive, tasteful, but not gaudy", the world would be a better place.
