Expert Posts: 3337     | bought some "potential" seats from a 2004 Cadillac Deville. Over the winter I will decide. I had to grab these before someone else did, I got the fronts, backs, console and seat belts for 160$ out the door... Power leather even heated seats. They have the computer attached. and the console has a fan in the back for the passengers... cant be strong though... Oh and they have cigarette lighter plug ins at the bottom also. I can easily sell them for more than I paid if i dont use them. I am thinking turquoise around the outside, blue/pattern in the centers. When the console is set correctly is almost looks like a bench seat. I will bump up the cushion a bit also, although these are pretty comfortable already. So I get safety, comfort and functionality while giving up originality. I can actually use lap belts, head rests also in the back seat and comfort if I put them in.

Expert Posts: 3337 | okay consolidating projects... I think its going to be a 57/58 regal lancer... Willow Green on White... or White on Willow Green... I will keep the 57 front end I guess? You can swap at will. I think I like the 58 front end better (whiteregal[5590].jpg) Attachments ---------------- whiteregal[5590].jpg (246KB - 47 downloads) | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 5070 Location: So. California | Just a little rot going on there If you have a Regal Lancer, it would be better to keep the trim with the car. But a willow green Regal does look pretty good. One thing I don't like about the Regal is the hooded headlight chrome from the '58 Windsor. I think it looks a lot better with the standard Dodge trim. I recently found out that the headlight bezels could have been painted body color as a springs special option. That's pretty cool, and I am going to do that with mine. I have always preferred the '58 grille too, but lately, the '57 is really growing on me. | ||

Expert Posts: 3337 | hah dude its take a lot of money and time to get a complete set of regal lancer trim I picked up the last NOS pieces off Len Dawson. I think he has one quarter panel and one fender piece left.
I think this is it, 60 Willow Green on White, turquise interior. Edited by mikes2nd 2018-11-03 1:37 AM (58WillowWhite.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 58WillowWhite.jpg (317KB - 50 downloads) | ||

Expert Posts: 3337 | I bought a willow green desoto to check the color, looks pretty good. I got the paint from TCP, single stage eurethane. I will see how it goes. I am really thinking willow green and black, but I already have the white put down... uhg… Im moving the 58 Plymouth to have some room to work so i completely rewire the car with a modern harness.

Expert Posts: 3337 | Picked up a set of vintiques smoothie rims at summit clearance... I tried to figure out a reason not to buy them... but bolt pattern, paint perfect, offset, 6 inches wide... 100$ uhg I can use them to store the cars with later if I switch... And picked up an alternator off a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee to experiment with. It is a 3 wire so it will work. Externally regulated, 160 amp, internal fan... https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=357981&cc=1430895&jsn=429 Edited by mikes2nd 2019-02-13 12:19 AM (VintiquesRim15by6.jpg) Attachments ---------------- VintiquesRim15by6.jpg (102KB - 10 downloads) | ||

Expert Posts: 3337 | Rofl now that I have nearly all the 59 front end parts... Voila... the worlds only soon to be "57", "58" and "59" Dodge Regal Lancer... I might as well paint the 59 parts and have them ready. I can get the 59 bumper chromed later. I already have the 57 and 58 front end ready to go. I will need to swap over the trim though on the 59.
