OT- New project....
This is my daily driver.....since I am finished with the power train on my 71, I am focusing some energy on my daily ride. I just had the rear wheels widened to 15X10 and installed 295/50's on the rear and 255/60's on the front. It does have all the cool suspension parts and of course the LT1. Next mod is installing new Hotchkiss springs to drop the front and keep the rear about where it's at...next is bigger sway bars...I figured you guys might get a kick. There are more pic and info on my site. The new power plant will be a stroked LT1...a 396.

I love those cars, GM should have never stopped making them. My dad has a 94 caprice station wagon with the LT1 and 3.73's. the wagon can run with the big dogs. he put impala wheels on it and hotchkis sway bars also a hypertech and intake. I have outran a firends mustang and i had 8 people in the car. gotta love B-bodies.... best of luck

Sweet ride Mike. I'm also a fan of those cars. Who wouldn't love a big 4-door RWD car with an LT1

I am always on the ImapalSS forum...it's a great forum for B-Body's. Thanks for the comments guys.....this is my third B-Body.....I had a 95 SS too. 'sides there so much room in these you never have to worry too much about stereo space. By the way here is the grill I made for it and the custom 396 emblem I hand made...
