I been following this site for a minute, I dont post much but I wanted to start my own build thread to showcase a 74 Caprice and get some feedback. I know most of ya dont like the 4 doors but I plan to change some opinions with this one. I originally was doing a 74 Impala, it just had too many rust issues. Finally I found this Caprice on e-bay and it seemed like a good deal. She's going in the paint booth on friday. Just came home from a 4 year state bit, now it's my turn to shine!

its clean...perosnally i like the 4 drs wit no posts better cuz when you put all the windows down it look raw...but it is a clean car

wat size rims you goin n wat color you sprayin it?

Thanks.. Im going with a HOK kandy blue fade from top to bottom, not sure if I want to put a vinyl top back on or not. Already have all new chrome mouldings from my abandoned 74 Impala project. Also plan to put a complete chrome Impala nose including header,corners,bezels and grill...... rims wil be 26 with a 275/25/26.

Thats clean homie. I like the 4drs cause thats what I have. Keep us updated.

That bitch too clean, I like the 4 doors. I was watching east coast ryders vol. 1 last night and the white 4 door vido was driving was nice. I've been thinking bout buying one.

clean this should turn out nice

Just a little update til I get it back from paint.

chrome front f.t.w

lookin good so far

how much you pay for the car

i wanna kno da same thang

who chromed your corner ears for u, since they not metal i was told they couldnt be chromed??

Picked it up off e-bay in oct. Man wanted 2800, offered him2600 and trailered it back from New York the next week.

The corner ears are metal...... they actually made from pot metal, which is a lil softer than steel. Had no problem gettin em chromed. Shop out here called the Chrome factory did all my plating. Charged me 70 each ear and 225 for the header. Not sure if they good prices but then again I aint from south Fl.

did the same shop chrome the headlight buckets and grille? If so, how much that run you?

well damn thanks for that info, they lied to me...

Finally found an OG dash pad....... no cracks no damage. All the way from Alaska for 150 plus 29 shipping. X-mas starting to look good around here! Gonna clean it up with dupli-colors prep wipes before color matching with dupli-color vinyl spray paint.

Naw.... the buckets and grille are made from plastic, so I found a place down in Fla. that electroplates all plastics - Custom Coatings[850]-562-0538 That was 4 years ago... think he charged me 75 per bucket and 250 for grill

yo jroc where u located? ima send my shit to da chrome factory u got any info on that shop, cuz they prices are cheaper than the quote i got from a diff place

nice wip keep da pics cumin

looks clean

Im in Maryland but the Chrome Factory went out of business about a year ago. Most people now take they pieces to Hanlon Plating co. in Richmond Va. [804]-233-2021. They plate anything and reasonable prices. Got my bumpers done at 400 a piece.

Yeah.... Should be back from paint booth 1st week of Jan. Stand by...... pics comin soon!

just picked up these vents.......also going old school with a mahagony dash to match door panels. and of course I will be wood grain grippin while paint drippin.OOOOOO.....

nice playboy

alright ya'll, I'm takin a poll to see which rims I should go with. I can get either a set of Presidentials or Swaggers for the lo. I cant decide NON-SPIN

swaggers

size matters no homo in 6s I say go presidentials

swaggers
since da presidentials aint spinnin

yeah.... Im leanin toward the Swaggs but Presidentials with painted inserts got me debating.... never seen Swaggers on a donk before though. Not sure how they would look.

what size are u going, them swaggers gone chop

26 inches on 275/25/26
