Default Re: '66 Imperial Project

Wow! having been the owner of a number of '66 Imperials since having one as my 'daily driver' back in the earl 1970's, I can certainly appreciate all the time, work and artistry that went into your project! I especially like that color since my own Imperials have mostly been 'Deep Plum' in (factory) color. Right now I have a '66 Le Baron (Deep Plim color) and a '66 Crown Convertible (Royal Blue) that I hope to restore to good 'reliable' driving condition...probably a 2+ or a 3- condition. Wish I had the $$$ to do the motor that you did but I would be extremely content to just get the vehciles back to 'closely original) condition. I may finally have to bite the bullet and sell the convetible (named 'Doris') in order to repaint the Le Baron which is what I am preparing my brain for! (smile)
Anyway, I salute you and your team on the whole '66 Imperial project! you all deser applause for doing it the' right way' and making a vehicle that is worth of SEMA and any show on the planet!!
best of Luck in the future!!!

Needless to say, that was the start of an "interesting" build with its fair share of evil.
