Re: AAJ DISC BRAKE CONVERSION-Have you done it?

I did the scarebird kit on my 57 Dodge. Ill do the fronts on my 60 Imperial also.

I had the car completely apart so it was pretty easy :)

Re: Imperial on a UHaul trailer

hauling a car can not fun sometimes... i came back with a car that would shimmy over 55 mph... wasnt fun going down hills... semi trucks blasting past me.

I had a car taken from CA to Ohio for 1200$... a 60 imperial on the back of a semi hauler... was well worth the money.

Imperial parts peddlers and addicts...

So being a forward looker and recently getting a 60 imperial... Why is it you imperial guys feel you have to price rape fellow restorers? I understand parts are few and hard to find. I admit I do feed my addiction with some FWL rare parts. I mean I can go buy a complete parts car for 1000$ but you g...

Re: Seat Upholstery 1961 Imperial

i expected 80$ a yard... was quoted 120$ a yard for sales price.. normal is 150$ yoinks!

The issue also is it doesnt match factory.. I think I could have it made(little crowns sewn) or printed.
