Lightbulb New Project: White Buick Regal
I'm building my baby from the ground up.
I got her with plenty of stuff, but it was all on the seats and in the trunk!!

I've already got plenty of parts from people around arizona and cali, but as it is, there WILL be things missing!!! (that's how building cars goes, right?)

I'm starting this hoping it will get attention so I have a general place to go to ask whats for sale with you guys..
Hope I can get her done soon!!

I was originally going to post that as, "Good Lord, please don't tell me that there is a female version of Len Freeman?", but I figured that someone might take exception to the post, and not have a sense of humor about the wording. Any offspring of Len's is, well, never mind. At least you know that your tranny will be the best.

Yes, it does, Len's rep is probably one of the best of the best amongst the turbobrick clan. You probably couldn't have a better father / parental figure / image.

that's awesome. I've really learned a lot from him.. I'm glad he's my dad.
I can't wait to break out and make my own name along you guys.. hopefully I'll be as respected as dad is.

it needs no body work but could use a new coat of paint. its a western car with no rust and is in great shape! someone will have to get a job and start saving for the paint!! we are building this car on a tight budget with parts i already have. it will be a 12 sec. ride as that is as fast as you can run in the high school racing program. that will be good for a beginner(and a girl!)
