Imp conversion

Has that ever been done? A Imperial Fusey Convertible?

Probably, it would have be some real high quality work for anyone else to want it when you were done. And still at that, it wouldn't be worth much because all you did was butcher an Imp... a factory or new car coach built conversion would at least have some authenticity.

I think we have a member that was building that conversion, didn't we? IIRC he has quite a collection otherwise.

Thanks, that's interesting. He did it 180* from how I was thinking, but it made sense given what he found to start with. I can get behind a labor of love, done things myself I knew would never be for resale. It is a shame he dropped away... hopefully there will be a return and project update someday.

Yet another example of when a non-Mopar type of guy joins the Forum all bright-eyed and bushy tailed with a mess and has pie-in--sky plans to make a "really cool custum".
9 out of 10 of these guys ten disappear about 10% into the project.
So when yet another newbie joins and presents The Best & Brightest with an $80,000.00 plan, I have learned to just bite my tongue while all the enablers condone another destined to be doomed failure rendered useless for anybody to save down the road.

Kept in contact with Glenn and he has no real updates on the car. Busy with other projects.

Gonna get around to it as time, money, enthusiasm, motivation, permits...
Gonna fix it up someday.



You either do something or you don't do something.
There's a million stories out there in the naked city. This is just one of thhem....

I think his property is full of C-bodies and some rare ones too.

You might be right, I hope with this one your not.

I always hope I'm wrong, too. I gave Nick about a less than zero chance. There is hope out there.
