Just purchased a super clean running, driving 75 Buick Regal. Plan on running it in a "stock" ;D show. Anyone run these, and should I use the stock front bumper? I have a few bumpers in stock if stock bumper is to hard. Thanks!!

I just made a deal on a 76 Buick century. I haven't seen anything about them here in the threads. I haven't picked it up yet but the guy said it had a 6 cyl in it. I know its a 4 door, does anyone know anything good or bad about bumper,engine,trans,rearend,frame? I'd like to run it in our stock show this year but I know very little about fullsize cars and even less about centuries

Might be able to get this car cheap it would be ran in a chain class wondering how they hold up it would be against only newer style cars no old iron. . Any advice would be great thanks it's a two door.
