Re: IML: 60 Imperial Le Baron sedan $2800 ROOF ISSUE.

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

That roof issue is 100% normal for '60 LeBarons. There is probably some 
rust in there, but the main problem is that the filler used to hide the 
seam for the insert has expanded and deteriorated revealing the outline 
of the Custom/Crown rear window. Kenyon has written an extensive 
article about the on the OIC web site.

Any of us who own a '60 LeBaron have to deal with this. Most folks just 
smooth it over and repaint, but it will always come back. That is 
unless you do it the way that Kenyon did. He has gone into great 
detail, with pictures and tool descriptions to explain the problem and 
fix it for good. There is an asbestos rope/filler in the seam, covered 
with lead, then paint finish. Lead tends to deform over time, but it is 
the asbestos rope that causes most of the trouble here. Check it out!

The rest of the car could be fine rust wise, but there are not enough 
pictures to tell. 1960 LeBarons are hot!

Would anyone jump at this in the SF bay area? It appears to have some 
rust issues at the base of the roof.
