Re: IML: restoring to a #1

[sosmi@xxxxxxxxxxx]

This is a bit of topic for me (drive train) but my 78 NYB was a prize. After a very good repaint, top, all chrome removed, glass etc. I found it spending two years covered, and seldom used.No more, I think a 10 in your own eyes is fine, ENJOY, with anticipation of improvements. After the wife complained to much, we used it pretty much every day for 200k miles, we miss it, and enjoyed the use, not just the looks. Ya'll have a nice day, Dave.

Aw, Dan -now there's lots more of us fools out here. Henry Hopkins comes to mind (60) and my 61, just to name two - and I'm pretty sure there are more.

Hi Chris.....the only IML member who has done, or is in the process of doing, a 'full restoration' is Greg McDonnell with his '65 Imperial. As far as what the costa are i think it best if you contact Greg directly...and take your heart medicine before hand!

Just curious,

As you know I have a 67 Imperial Convertible. In the back of my mind I

sometimes fantasize about if I had the money I would like to see my car

restored ground up. I keep thinking of what a tremendous expense this would

be and certainly wouldn't be cost effective (it rarely is).

Any of you forumites heard of a 67 Convertible being restored to a #1 car?
