How wide is the rear window at the bottom?
Do Bonneville seats fit with little trouble?
Do they come with red interiors?

I bet you could get an LSx motor in there pretty easy. This is to be my next project, decided it about a year ago, since I can't reasonably afford a turbo G-bod, I am going to try to find one without a heart and work some LS magic (The gathering) on it. werd, Doug _________________ 1996 Impala SS - 45K original miles - 5.3 LS swap - Brand new Bilsteins...WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

| Put the original aluminum wheels and red pinstripes back! lol I remember my shop teacher telling us that back in the 80s, the Monte SS wheels kept getting stolen and a ton of them came into the dealership he worked at with dented spare tire wells from thieves dropping the wheel-less cars on the ground! I want to get an '87 442 as one of my next cars on the bucket list. Or an 87-88 Monte SS with the slightly altered taillights, and of any color as long as the paint is in decent shape and it still has the factory accent stripes on it. | |

| The car has a crazy history for it to be/look the way it does now. Thats one of the reasons i bought it. I replaced the junk yard rims/tires it came with, to the AMR 767's and BFG's I did this on paint shop and its pretty much what I'm stuck on. This picture is with simulated window tint, some decals and lowered suspension. I put factory SS decals on it last summer, but Im not too crazy about it. Notice the car in the middle, in the left background! It was wrecked about two weeks after...
