Getting so close I can't wait! Also just a fyi the "Impala SS" windshield banner and "Got Impala" sticker on the back are going to be removed. I want it as clean and sleek as possible. Also replacing rockers on Monday and going to prime and undercoat them as appose to paint for better protection.
Good stuff! Might as well go all the way if you've gone this far. Nothing like a mirror-finish black paint job.
If I were to go through this process, I'd probably do a custom color that looks stock. Like a black paint job with a blue or purple pearl in it, so to 99% of people, it's just a black Impala, but in the right light and when looking closely, you can tell that it's a custom paint job k3:
No real exciting updates today. Painting the odds and ends stuff mirrors, moldings, spoiler, taillight covers, rocker moldings and door handles. Going to start the rockers later on today and finish them up tomorrow then we're in the home stretch hopefully done mid to end of this week.
Well heres a update I wish i wasn't making. Cut the outer rocker apart yesterday and the inner is much worse than expected. It will all be fixed in the end, just been a long road and really want it back. I'm really hoping Friday :hope: but we'll see otherwise next Monday or Tuesday.

Thankfully their all repaired and done going to rust proof the crap out of them even if it doesn't see another winter which it won't still nice to have that added protection. Also got the doors mounted up today all that is left is the front end and a few misc things. Should be all done looking like a car tomorrow. Wet sanding and buffing it Friday should have it back Monday or Sat night.
Did alittle body work on this side because it will be seen from the door jam i promise its not just mudded up lol
Back end looks so sexy
Drivers door is full of dust thats why it looks off hue
Car should be put together and ready for wet sanding and buffing! Then all we have left is emblems and wheels and shes done:yahoo:! Pics to come later on.
Finally wrapped up my build on the quad tail light mod and ss spoiler install on my 02 base model. I saw plenty of great write ups on it but never found a good video, just a bunch that showed the "final results" on video. I filmed the process, Check out my youtube if you want to look into...
Yes Ladies and Gents, just got in my MPD1 hood and looks sooo amazing and bad ass. I know it costs around a grand, but sooo worth it :) Eric, does high quality work and totally gets the WOW facter from everyone I talk too. Really gives your car an aggressive look to it.:cool::yikes: Still not...
