I'm going to bed, I'll work on this tomorrow:)... thought I'd put it out there should anyone else want to give it a shot. :thumb:

Fred

a world of thankSS to you! :D

keep it original and maybe add some ghost SS stripes...or do them in black cherry.....

I would do new wheels before doing new paint. The paint already looks good.

Yeah, the paint looks pretty nice, but I would get some different wheels:cool:

the paint does not look good! The only reasons it looks decent is because I had JakeF ZAINO it the day before and it's a relatively low resolution picture. The front bumper is scratched and cracked, the hood has small scratches and dents, both front fenders have dents, all 4 doors have dents (some past the paint), the roof is chipped from rocks, both rear quarter panels have major damage, and even the rear bumper is scratched :cry:
So most of the body needs to be repainted anyway, I just figure it would be a good time to do something a little different.

And I happen to like Weld Draglites. I'm considering selling the SS rims to get 17" draglite XPs though.

with all that damage you're looking at ALOT more than just a paintjob.......its gonna need a ton of body work.

I know that :( But since it needs so much bodywork, I might as well do something different with the paint :D

Just wondering, is that a corvette emblem on the side of your car?

yup, from the 97-04 Corvette.

It's common to put "crossed flags" emblems on the front fenders, but I wanted Vette flags. I don't care for the LT1 Vette emblems though.

I'll probably put C6 emblems on as soon as they are available :D

SOM would look killer on that car

Here was my plan. I've got 2 B-bodies. This 96 impala SS and my 91 civi Caprice. I was going to do stripes or something on the SS, then later do the exact opposite on the Caprice.

Say, black with hugger organge stripes on the SS, then hugger orange with black stripes on the Caprice.

Bird i was thinking the EXACT same thing! SOM would be awesome!

or I think NBM with Silver Stripes might not be bad

Or just Straight NBM

I saw a '96 Impala the other day painted SOM. I must say it was an attention getter, but that is alot of car that already gets a good amount of attention. At first it looked all kinds of wrong, but then when I really got a good look at it, the color actually started to look pretty good. That's the reaction most people will probably have, so I have to say that the NBM would look better than the SOM simply because it won't be such a dramatic look. But thats just my opinion :D .
