Checking in, here's my dinosaur. 96, some small mods. Suspension, exhaust, Cragars, nothing major.

Nice that this thread has so many people posting about their b-bodies

Dope92CC- So the Impala forums are still up and running, huh?

I used to lurk there a lot, but I hardly ever posted because so many there were, uhm... just not the kind of people I want to have much to do with. I had nothing in common with them other than an appreciation of the cars.

NavyLifer and I were pretty good pals for a while (not just online), but we fell out of touch.

ZimRandy- Yeah, my T-84s are a leftover spare set too. Cool that you have some available.

Glad your pal didn't install the w-ws and strobes...too wannabe for my taste. People are doing that kinda [stuff] to Crown Vics too

Dope92CC- Heh heh, those things you mentioned that'd make your car perfect for you are just a few $'s away

The big thing is that you have the bodystyle that you like, everything else is easy to change by comparison.

I used to have a 95, fun car, I still miss it. The factory paint is garbage though. Mine was 3 or 4 years old when I sold it and it was already starting to flake off on the edges, must have been a Monday morning spray.

Yeah, I've heard about that. Luckily my '95s were all OK in that respect.

Mine was OK except for the bumpers. The CC started to fail about year 6 or 7, finally got the car repainted last year. I guess it's OK for another dozen years or so. I've had the thing so long now that I can't really imagine selling it.

It's not really worth anything yet, it's not old enough to be a classic, but I still like the way the windows buzz in the garage when I start it and my butt fits that seat pretty well....

The hood on mine is the worste part, it has little "pieces of rice" looking things all over it, ive seen it on one other car (a ford pickup) but i dont know what causes it. Also my ex-girlfriend in high school thought it would be a good idea to egg the car on Christmas eve, Bi***

, So there are about 4 egg shell etchings in the paint in miscellaneous spots. Love the car though, and love that i can seat 5 comfortably and roast the tires off while im at it

My original hood was peppered with rock chips due to the high miles and the previous owner, so I bought a Suncoast hood rather than paint the stocker.

It is a nice hood, but needed some prep work to fit right. On the track, it will lift pretty good above 120 mph (according to the pictures). So far, so good!

The small picture I posted is a clickable thumbnail that will open up a larger pic (which can be clicked on again to enlarge).

Mine is made by Suncoast who still makes them, I think. The SLP hood is no longer made and it only had one opening near the front of the hood.
