a caprice freak,how is that 305 running man,and can you send pics of the whole car,im wondering should i just keep my 305 in instead of trying to swap it out.
I have seen some clean 305's.
I just sold a wagon that had 209,000 miles on it. Engine was terrible looking and completely stock from what I was told, anyways the thing purred like a kitten. I am gonna pull my 305 and go with a basic carbed small block 350 only because I want that look. My 305 has 130,000 and runs super.

Can someone school me on the Sungate windshield? I always hear about it but never really found out what it was. I think it auto tints with the sun correct?
wow c freak thats something looks sharp as hell..how did u the rad. shroud and stuff so shiney .. armour all or something like that, to did it right its time comsuming,but when its done.........
@Thelyricist720 : Sungate windshields have this kind of purple-ish glow when the light hits it in the right position. It blocks out the sun rays (read > heat) even better then the stock windshield does.
@waynes91: I used some bumpershine for the shroud and all. I don't know the brand, I supposed it was from Turtle Wax. I don't know if this is also available at shops in your area? It is a bit of milky stuff that is easy to apply and even more easily is rubbed out to this shiny glow.

The Sungates are basically a Factory Polarized Windsheild that was offered Standard on the Impala's and higher optioned Caprice's. Standard Caprice windsheilds are more clear/transparent than the Sungates, but they are still some what tinted(Besides the Sunblocker band at the top and along the sides.).
One of the rumored downsides to the Sungates, is the dreaded Dash Rash(Were the dash will turn a brown/ etc) that is supposed to be caused by a higher concentrait of the Sun's UV's being only partially blocked during Sunnier days
