Long time lurker, just took delivery of a 1963 Imperial Crown, all original and runs nice. Need to change belts/hoses and check brakes before any cruising.

Nice! Welcome to the site from the Motor City! That one isn’t going to require any stiffening!

Welcome, looks good. How, about some more pictures.

I agree - they are awful stiff. We had a '59 Imperial in the shop that had a 392 hemi in it and I was amazed at how strong the frame was. We custom made a disc brake conversion for it using a Dodge truck rotor (same bolt pattern as Imperial), custom brackets for the calipers and a custom spacer for the inner wheal bearing (outer went on the orig spindle like it was made to fit). Planning a similar disc upgrade for this one, get the A/C working, fix the power seat and cruise around a bit.
