Here's a few more pics. I'm not crazy about the impala wheels, but I think the main problem with them is that the tires are much too large and the rears need to be spaced out 1.25" to line up right with the front. Right now the tires are 30" tall all around. I'm going with 275/50 and 255/50 to get the rears to 28" and the front to 27". I'm planning on replacing all the factory a/c with aftermarket to slick up the firewall. It has a 406 that's nearly new, but I'm replacing all the top end to get much more power.
