How many of us have built an Imperial? Good work, Jim, your
youthful vigor and enthusiasm are inspiring, just don't
forget us ol' farts have cunning and experience.

| Guess What Everyone???
|
| Today I tracked down (locally) the front end assembly
| (minus bumper) for a 90's Chrysler Imperial so I can
| put it on my Dynasty (for those not fimilar, I'm
| turning my Dodge Dynasty into a Dodge Imperial by
| throwing an Imperial interior in and installing a
| front end off of an Impererial.... alread did the
| interior except the auto dimn mirror [which I have...
| just needs to go in] and a EVIC.... digital dash is
| already in and working too!).
|
| For $200 (US) I'll be getting the centre nose piece,
| grill, headlamps, etc. It's off a gold '93.... so I'll
| have to repaint it to match my Dynasty colour (no
| biggy there!).
|
| Now I just need the bumper, lower grill, bumper
| supports (maybe), and the gold "IMPERIAL" logos....
|
| I also found a yard which may have the EVIC overhead
| console too.
|
| So needless to say, I might be on my way (will have to
| look at this front end assembly to see if it will be
| what I need.... it has a minor crack on the back which
| I can repair... may need to cut and paste this
| assembly together with a tad of fabrication work to
| get it to fit my Dynasty correctly!).
|
| Still have yet to find an Imperial in the pick and
| pulls in my area, this the first time I've found a
| Imperial specific part locally, so I wonder how it got
| there, lol!.
