Looks sweet! Its really coming along! Good job guys! How'd you go about doing it? Shoulda just swapped the one from the gold car lol.

Billy made it seem really simple. Got the dimensions for the holes from the national forum. Drill-sticky tape-done cheers

Nice. He's pretty good at what he does. Now grab console/shifter and he can weld up the mounting brackets for you...winning...

Rob, all this stuff you're doing to your car is making me want to do stuff to mine. LOL

Looks good!

It looks VERY nice!

There should have been more SS colors available!

A couple 1/4 windows away from a white Impala. I like the idea of an opposite Impala. Dig.

Doug brings an interesting point to the table. IIRC, Anthony had a set of '94 SS quarter windows f/s a little while back.

My favorite color b-body.....this car is probably my favorite B on here!
Only because I had one that looked identical to it 3 years ago.
Love that sleek white paint..... And y'all know I loves me a car in black!

Hey Rob,

Spoiler looks great!! Looking forward to your review of the new gears this weekend. Haven't seen any pics posted of your new shifter knob.

I have some 95 quarter Windows if you're not too afraid of cutting and welding. Oh, wait, you were afraid to drill two holes...

See you next week.

Ya, I have those now. They are painted the old olive drab color, but are in great shape.

Your welcome Rob.

It was no biggie. Took 15 minutes or so to do. Real easy. Did take me away from my second bk bacon sundae though. Like a Star @ heaven

I'll have to do the spoiler and quarter windows someday, if I keep this car. I'm with Rob, I just didn't/don't want to drill holes in the trunklid. I'm getting bored though, I have to either do something with this car or buy another one and do stuff to that.

Personally, when the SS was in production, I don't know why they didn't offer it in more colors- bright red, a navy blue, a white color, a metallic pewter color, hunter green, silver, the Cadillac Calypso Green color that sorta flip flops a little (more turquoise than DGGM) and that LDM color all would have looked great.

Subject: Re: Thank You Billy!!! Fri Jun 22, 2012 6:44 pm

Calypso green wouldve been the balls!!!!!

Personally I think they shouldve offered the impala package only in ORIGINAL SS colors. Like whatever was available in the 60's they should've used for the 3 years AND not offered it on the caprice or 9c1. Imagine a 96 SS in that seafoamy green/blue drunken

Another interesting point. I wonder if there was any reason for the 3 colors, Dggm being the best, for 94-96. My imagination runs wild, when I day dream about what GM would have come up with, if the 90's B body sales were more popular. Id like to think we wouldnt have this impala fwd noise...tho its an attractive looking car, it should have been rwd imo.
