Just bought my first "longroof" yesterday so im a newbie. Although i am not new to B-bodies since i have a 94 impala ss. Fist thing i have to say is man these things were ahead of their time and can still compete all around with anything produced today. I am excited to freshen it up a little bit but not go overboard into what i like to call "MODHELL". I need to keep this one for a daily. -Josh

I will post some up either later today or tomorrow. I am kind of embarrassed to show pix of it because of the ugly hubcaps he had on it. No worries though since my impala wheels will be on soon. -Josh

Welcome! And please post pics. Don't worry about the hubcaps, makes the before and after pics that much more fun!

See the link here....pics of my car, ugly hubcaps and all when I bought it, are about halfway down the post. And yes Impala wheels were one of my first mods. HUGE improvement!

Looks clean, and I can't wait to see it with Impala wheels. Will change the entire look of the car.

The interior is in awesome shape for being 19 years old. I believe the original owner was a older gentlemen who used it to travel. Other then that do you guys think i did well for $1500? -Josh

You did great! Now change the wheels and tint the windows!

Ill get a pic of the wheels on the car hopefully today. I need to polish the fronts and put them on. I need to tint the windows soon as well. -Josh

Take your time and enjoy it. I tend to get bored with cars once I finish fixing everything and then sell them. I enjoy the project more than the finished product! Ha!

Have fun and keep posting pics.

the's and Olds around here with the exact opposite paint (dark on bottom, silver up top)
both look good. It'll 'muscle up' nicely. those are hubcaps right? they'd be cool if they are rims.

I see an Impala lurking in the shadows, lol.

Lol good catch on the impala. I got the rims on it and will snap a pic of it tomorrow if i get some time. It looks way different but the front still needs to be dropped about 2in. I have heard of people using 9c1 springs and cutting a coil out is that the cheapest easiest way to get the front down 2in? Thanks -Josh
