October 2023 the Imperial has been registered, plated, stickered, and successfully driven and torture tested for safety...all passed. The EFI Fi Tech runs very good; had the calipers reworked with SS sleeves...NO LEAKS! I will be showing it more in the summer of 2024 in the North Shore of...

Here goes...interior is all in, electrical gremlins worked out, engine fired up with new electronic distributor and FiTech fuel injection...now I have to time the engine and get her running smoother than it already is. Power steering gave me a headache when it did not want to let me turn the...

Interior coming along nicely...the little things slow me down...will be on the road this summer/fall

I went through it completely...no unwanted electrical fires please...the Sentinel is unique and old, I had issues with the proper working of it and wanted more stability and reliability. I removed the system, bypassing the lights and HI/LO beam is easy; the amplifier however had issues and...

Yes, unfortunately for the LeBaron...a 2 inch height difference has to be made up...Steele does not have this, so I built up the difference with extruded butyl rubber and a sencond pair of roof rail weather strip to get the ends down 2 inches as well.

Copy that, I went with a standard Edelbrock split plane intake and the Fi Tech FI I used was the master kit...here is the link: Home - FiTech Fuel Injection

Thanks for the kind words, yes it takes much patience to do it right...close, engineering and program manager for the DOD. Wedgewood Blue is the color and is original.

Hello everyone who loves the Big Ladies! An update since last, I have installed the steering column after completely tearing it down, servicing worn coupling and replacing telescopic turn signal switch...a small amount of reengineering, but done! Secondly, if you look closely you will see that...

Takes patience, I manage my expectations where it comes to what I can get done on any given day for an hour or two...by the time a year passes I am well on my way on disassembly and now reassembly. Door glass is going in, all locks and mechanisms are in...slow and smooth. Getting it done! I...

Nearing completion, electric window mechanisms, door handles, lock and latches all installed. Working the glass and roof-rail weather-strip, then front seats, door panels and run it up.

Don't you know it!

It has headrests, I do not expect I will be driving this too much other than local shows and ice cream...slow cruising; but it is not me I worry about...good observation. I did however install 3-point seatbelts in the rear for the girls and will also engineer a 3 point up front.

I will have to buy extruded rubber strip and 3M adhesive it to what repro I have to make up the difference, thicken it up so the glass seats properly. I will do this once I have the glass re-installed so I can accurately make up the difference before final gluing.

Not really...issue is the thickness, the standard Imperials you can buy the roof-rail repro, with glass height is all the same for all the models, the difference is in where the roof is set in relation to where the glass is fully up...so the roof rail rubber has an additional 3/4 to 1 inch to...

Finished off the grill and fender/side marker lighting...lot of pieces, a lot of wire runs through holes. I ordered the headlamp adjusters and have the buckets...soon I will have headlamps! A nice looking grill, real steel and pot metal!

Thanks Pete, just an average guy taking his time...going on 4 years now. I like your Imperial, very nice! My main issue right now is the roof rail weather striping...the LeBaron has a 2" roof height taller than standard Imperials...so I am looking for the NOS if it even exists. Or it becomes...

Indeed, the two year style is one of the best and a curse if you need parts...like soft rubber roof-rail since the LeBaron roofline is about 2 inches more than your standard Imperial

Yes, a white vinyl top in fact, I have that as well from SMS; I chose not to put it on after I had seen the paint job...

SMS sourced the hides after I approved the color and stitched the covers, I did the rest
