Me too Will but at 81 and after 60 years of inhaling smoke from burning Salem's I get out of breath playin' Checkerz, lol. Not complaining, It was fashionable back then remember? The disease for old iron iz still az strong az ever tho', and I still have 3 in the driveway and mama doesn't drive at all anymore. Jer

Ok so while all of that^^^^^^is soaking in here are a couple of shots of the clean (relatively) rolling chassis basically as it came out of Missouri. My beautiful wife has been working side by side through this with me from the time we left home to get this car.

Looking forward to seeing it. You are quite fond of 1967 Imperials and I have a feeling you may end up keeping this one

No I absolutely will not!

 

[detmatt]

I feel like a kid again building models.
Still putting together the interior and all the exterior trim + the interior windshield trim is all accounted for.

The top motor works and it will come with working window motors including vents, power door lock solenoids and seat bases. All have been bench tested. Things like switches and dash controls will likely need to be rebuilt but it will come with everything wether original to it or out of my stash. I put a different driver’s door on it yesterday as the original was kinda rough, I will include the original though.
Here’s most of the trim.

 

[detmatt]

We got back at it for a day.
