Wide whites!

Finally did some wide whites for this one. Used an electric drill and a paint/rust remover wheel, I think they came out pretty good. All pinstriping and badging removed as well.

It's never too early to get them started! T-Man loves the Caprice, his mama, not so much!

Wow, that car looks great. I'd shave the thing where the hood ornament was. It clashes with the rest of the flowing look of the car.

That's wtf I'm talkin about Dave! Fun and easy project that looks great too.

Ya gotta start a pic thread like this with a "before" picture though man.

See sig for before pic.

Off topic: is it possible to take the sedan front door panels and adapt them to the wagons? I'd be all over those door pulls. They look good.

Stingroo, I'd love to shave the hood ornament hole, but, A.) can't afford to have it done professionally, and B.) the paint on the hood is too nice to destroy by trying to do it myself.

Also, the door pulls you like are not a sedan only option, they were available for wagons with the deluxe interior package.

Thanks for the props, guys!

The panels are the exact same (91-93 and 94-96). However, you can just add the bezels and the pulls to your panels. All you need is a sharp knife, the parts, and a four license plate bolt mounts for the handles to screw into. It will be real obvious what to do when you pull a panel off (buy a door panel removal tool!).

Fred Kiehl will have (or will get) the parts for you if you can't find them.

Rear door panels are wagon only though.

Lookin good, Dave!

Hmm... *adds to summer list*



Sorry to thread-jack.

Yeah, Dave, I can see not wanting to ruin the paint. Good enough solution until then. That car is still ridiculously clean.

I am shaving the trunk lock though... the paint there is not so good.
