I made this '93 Caprice by combining parts from the '92 Caprice kit and the '94 Impala SS kit. I modified the Impala body by shaving the door trim and emblems and opening the quarter windows, I also scribed the panel line between the body and the rear bumper. I cut the inner fenders from the interior so I could use the Caprice engine bay with the Impala interior tub. It has the Impala seats and console with the Caprice door panels and dash. The engine and chassis are from the Caprice kit. I color matched some wheels from my parts box. The paint is GM medium blue metallic.

Great looking conversion. I'm glad you pointed out what all you did since not being real knowledgeable of the difference I wouldn't of noticed the fine detail differences. The paint and trim look very good. I wonder about the rear spoiler, it looks like it might even be upside-down but not sure.

Thanks for the comment. All tri-9 Impala SS came factory with a spoiler and is a easy/popular upgrade for the Caprice. Since I started with the Impala body, it was easier to leave the spoiler than to try to fill in the gaps in the truck lid. It's not upside down, I promise.
