Thought I'd share some updated pics....

I recently deleted my front license plate bracket, changed the RAISS intake a bit, and did a few other minor things.

Started showing the RoadMonster this summer. Had a great time. I want to finish some more "eye candy" mods, and then get back to the performance mods. Hope to do 3.73's w/ Eaton Posi, Edge 3000 stall TC, etc. this winter.

Followed by Tri-Y headers, GMPP 845 camshaft, 1.5/1.6 roller rockers, and some composite vette valve covers.

This is a fairly low budget car, compared to most B-Bodys, but I have done most of the work myself, and I have tried to stay true to the "factory could have built it" theme of a Roadmaster Gran Sport.

The entire suspension has been rebuilt, with Energy Suspension poly-urethane bushings, Moog Problem Solver parts, Eibach Springs, Bilstein Shocks, SSBC Calipers, BAER Rotors, UMI Performance UCA's and LCA's. Car also has a Hooker cat-back, O-Z Racing 18" wheels, Pirelli Assimetrico 285 40 18 tires, 52mm BBK tb, Meziere electric water pump, MSD opti cap & rotor, Goodyear Hi-Miler hoses, Bryan Herter programming, RAISS intake, rebuilt trans with 2200 stall tc, etc.

I modded the interior by installing a Olds Bravada center console with floor shifter. Had the drivers seat modded to look like a factory bucket. The shift indicator in the dash functions with the floor shifter, and the install looks factory, thanks to Kevin Giltner.

The trunk has one of Hack's trunk kits. One of only 10 ever made. (not too many RMS get this modified)...

I hope to have some pics of my Car Motorsports under hood insulator, floor mats, and spare tire cover soon.
Rich and Alan are making all of them with a red GS logo, to match the theme of my car...

Cant wait to get this stuff!

Anyway, hope you enjoy the pics!

Great looking car!
I love the floor shifter.

What's a "Hack's trunk kit"?

Keeps getting better, keep it up! Glad you are on the site, don't be a stranger though :)

Hack (aka Scott Williams) is the owner / adminstrator of the Impala SS Forum, who also has a company called AudioFX.

He makes trunk kits for the Impala SS, and made 10 RM sedan kits.

Here is mine:

Thanks for the kind words guys.
