So I bought this one today.

I assume the gray box on the left is a twelve volt power supply. I usually use an old battery charger when bench testing components.

Yes, I bought it and the black box with the 2 speakers(4 & 8 ohm) in it for $20 at a swap meet. Up there toward the top of the list of the best swap meet purchases in my book.

Chunky frame.

Wanted to wrap up the work under the dash including installing an am/fm radio I cleaned up and got working nicely but in order to do that I needed the battery back in it which also means I had to clean and paint the battery tray, install the core support and start putting the wiring harness back in. Getting there!

No air conditioner? That's one of roughly a thousand total Imperials that year that did not get air. Looks great!

This is an ac car, auto temp in fact! The ac couldn’t be further down on the priority list for this car though. My goal for it was to just get it back on the road structurally sound so it could be enjoyed. Maybe the next guy can get the ac taken care of if it’s not going to be me.
My other ‘67 Coupe IS a non ac car.

It’s in and I’m almost ready to put the drivers seat in which will complete a damn nice, if not a little dusty interior.

I’m not sure why I didn’t replace this when I had the door panels off but maybe I didn’t have one in stock? Hard to believe but maybe….anyway I couldn’t leave it any longer and @SGT FURY had sent me a very nice one so here goes.

While the old one was off I figure there’s no better time to clean and polish the paint. Thank goodness these cars were single stage, it’s so easy to refresh this old paint.

 

[detmatt]

Just like that, 95% better!

Is the mirror Imperial specific or a C-body item?
Very nice, Matt.

Thanks Stan. I think the mirror is a C-body item but the control knob is Imperial specific and this one came to me with an Imperial knob although I did swap it out for the knob off the original which was nicer.

Finally!!!
