Default Problem Areas

As some of you know, 13 year of wear and tear, and poor treatment/repair will leave you with body issues so here you go.

The bumper is beat and covered in bondo in areas. not to mention cracked on the passenger side.


The fend and door meet together due to the fact the door hangs a little and the fender is kinda close.


The replacement right fender is poorly painted and you can tell someone had the 26" insignia on it.


Both rear 1/4's were damaged and poorly treated, and some of the impala SS script is missing.

So does anyone know of good body shops? and could get me a number so i might be able to get a quote

But with grief comes joy, because i had front suspension redone, New tire-rods, Upper and lower ball joints, center link, Idler arm, and shocks.


thanks to rustic racing.

Cuz paint fades alot quicker on fiberglass. and it has that haze to it.

Dont take my word for it though, if you have someone do a really good job on paint, and have alot of layers then it will show less.
