96 Impala SS | lowering the daily

Interesting build to say the least, I've never seen another one on here. Keep it up! I think it'd look dope bagged on Meisters or CCW's with a Nardi quick release, but that's just me.

Thanks! If there is one thing i'm lacking its knowledge of wheels and proper fitment. Feel free to post up pics of rims that would work for the look i've got.

HOT SHOT WORKS.

And I'm stumped for wheel suggestions. But the car is sick looking.

Fit some cobra rims on there
or

VIPER RIMS

I honestly don't see many rims looking clean. Most impalas you see out there look really tacky with huge rims and lots of chrome.

[SuperSport]

Those rims look good but one thing that really stands out about the stock rims is the lip they have... I'd like to keep that look if at all possible. Love the deep lip

Today was a big update day, I got a lot accomplished.

First thing's first, I had to get the car back from the auto shop! I went there wednesday to check on oil cooler lines i'd ordered... when i went out to the parking lot to leave, i saw a lake a green fluid forming under the car.... Radiator = EXPLODED. Two days later and MUCH more $$$ then i wanted to spend, the car is back!


Here's a better shot of the ground clearance I have:


I got the entire lower dash, console, a-pillars, and passenger side b-pillar prepped and painted.



I found extra wide electrical tape and had an idea... for those of you that may be concerned, it's a joke


After I got the painted pieces put in the car


I think it's really starting to come together! Will definitely keep updating as progress is made.

Looking clean. Good job

[SuperSport]

^Thanks man!

[rice4life]

Glad you are fixing up the interior while you are at it.

[SuperSport]

^It needs it... bad! But i'll be switching gears in a week or so. My birthday is coming up, i'm thinking of treating myself to something nice

Hellwig Solid Sway bar 1 5/16". Largest available for 91-96 b-bodies

I haven't had a lot of time to work on the interior lately, but i did manage to get some photos of my friend's SRT4 as well as my car. It's ironic, the car you'd assume handles better is actually the drag king, and the car you'd consider more of a muscle car is better around corners. Funny how things can change with a few modifications (and a decent driver)






My camera (Kodak Z981) has really started to piss me off, i'm looking into a new one at this point. Some photos look great and some are SUPER freakin grainy. A lot has to do with the time of day, if it's not super light outside, expect a grainy photo. NOT COOL. Really looking for canon rebel eos, will take donations lol

Lower the ISO and up the exposure time.
If that doesn't work, clean the lens really well.
Oh yeah, the car is looking great.

Thanks! I'll see if i can do the adjustments you reccomend. here's the latest:

Is your lug pattern 5x4.75/120.7 like every other rwd gm car, or 5x5 like the c1500's of that vintage, I can't get a straight answer and have a line on a few B-bodies. I have a set of wheels sitting at my parents house in Boston and don't want to waste the money shipping them. But I understand if you don't want me to steal your thunder as the only Impala on here

i love this car! bbodyftw!
