Thanks. Pictures would be great!

Hey Julian! How have you been. How's the car coming along.

 

[1978 NYB]

Didn't Imperial use the "Y" designation?

 

[vdk2010]

Hey Dan, she's coming along pretty good lately. The body shell is completely stripped now. I found more rust holes here and there but less then feared.

I'm still happy with my purchise. ;)

Here are a few pics of the latest pregress:







The alreday removed the drivers door also. It's a real pita to remove the door glas! It took me an hour to get it out of the door...
Next will be to put a layer of epoxy primer on it to pretect it from rusting again.

My gawd, you are thorough. Early on I had no idea that this was going to be a total nutss and bolts resto. For the zillionth time, we'll done, Sir!
PS, I would still like to see you go vinyless on the roof though...

And that's still the plan, Sir! I like the vinylless look better, but I'm still searching for detailed photos of a '69 Crown interior rear window surrounding and dome light to duplicate them myself. I'm pretty sure the window is the same like the Chrysler models.

Should have bought a Crown, then.

Does any one on this sight own a 69 or 70 crown 2 door... talk about needles in haystacks,, I'd love to see some pis of 69 or 70 crown,,, even a 4 door hardtop or the 69 4 door sedan for that matter... and not that rusted out brown 69 sedan in minnesotta,,, seen that one so many times.. I count in my eBay sleep lol

I was not that picky after 18 month of searching for a proper base for my project. And apart of this, it's easier to remove the vinyl roof then finding a good set of bucket seat i guess.

I have a few pics of 1969 Crown Imperials in my Dropbox. But unfortunately no pictures of the interior.

I never realized that about the Crowns...

I looked at a `70 crown in Hamilton a couple of years ago but it was to far gone for me.I have one back window shot from the inside but I don`t think it will help.You will need the moulding if you go that route. Yes they are a needle in a haystack,244 in `69 and 254 in `70

 

[vdk2010]

Thanks for the pictures, but I need more detailed pictures of the interior surrounding of the window. This one is even missing this piece.
This particular one once was a vinyl roof car. The vinylless ones doesn't have the vinyl roof moldings!

Any Chrysler 300 Hardtop interior of that model year for example will have the same parts I guess.

 

[goodneighbour]

Does this help?The dome light must be in the roof.

Any Fuselage 2dr hdtp interior will have....
