matthijskeuper's 1970 Chevrolet Impala I bought this car 2 years ago and have been doing small stuff on it only. It's pretty much my daily driver. Now it's time for some more serious work: it could really need some body work and paint. The car has been wrecked in the past and the left quarter panel is heavy with bondo. There are also some rust spots showing through.
The current paint job is pretty poor: lots of cracks, delam, etc. The previous owner claimed he only spent $1000 on the paint job.

matthijskeuper's 1970 Chevrolet ImpalaNot sure yet what color(s) I should do. The interior is dark green and in good shape, the seats were redone a few years ago, so I'm looking for something that goes well with that. The convertible top also needs replacement, and I could go with white or black to match whatever body color(s) I choose.

I've been photoshopping a bit to check how it would look with other colors.

This is my favourite so far: copper with a green pinstripe to match the interior

Now I just need to add a set of 22" Foose nitrous wheels...

Here's a youtube vid of the car:

Nice ole car. I agree, that photo chop color looks awsome on there. You'll have to redo the interior anyway so might as well. 5 stars to ya! Check out my cuda and rate it if you like it.
