Thread: 2004 Impala SS

So I've been roaming around here for quite some time and I decided to finally share my story. I have a 2004 Impala SS 240k miles. Been my baby for 3 years and I finally decided after this winters toll that I would restore it like I have always wanted it to be.

1st lets start by going through where its been in the last 3 years






















The goal was to make it just like it would have been in 2004 off the show room floor

This meant new rear doors, hood, left fender, trunk lid, spoiler and rockers. I also put the chrome 17's off of a Indy pace car edition.






And heres the progress yesterday, bumpers sanded and primed and glass pulled and started cutting apart the quarters and blocking the doors. Also addressing the rust in the windshield frame.













































Had to daydream by putting them next to my girlfriends Impala.

The fun part









Rockers were worse than expected












Did alittle body work on this side because it will be seen from the door jam i promise its not just mudded up lol






Back end looks so sexy



Drivers door is full of dust thats why it looks off hue


Long day of wet sanding and buffing, also got wheels on.


All done! (minus filler plate which I added a few weeks later)




With Filler Plate



And thats my story in a nutshell. I'm sure I missed stuff but it gives everyone a good idea of my story.

Thanks! My dad owns a body shop and I do it as a hobby.

Thank you guys for all the kind words! And I'm in Rogers MN

Thanks! I'm working on #2

Awesome work! I have a set of clones as well. 04 IndySS & 05 SS. The 05 is going use as a donor until everything done with my Indy. Really nice work though! I could stare at these cars all day! Lol

I work at Miller Chevrolet but I spend most of my time in the Monticello area

Nice...now paint my Indy!!!!!
