Mel, Thanks a million. I don't expect to start a frame off restoration for at least 18 months. Once I retire from the Navy I will have loads of freetime to work on my 59. Trust me you get a few questions. Actually my first question is where is the best place to obtain a shop manual? When I had my 62 Chevy Corvair 700 sedan, I found Clark's Corvair reprinted the original dealers maintenance manuals. Thanks again Ken --- Mel Wyshynski <mvwyshy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Kenneth > > Welcome to the group. > I am pleased to see that you also have a 1959 Imperial. > I started a complete frame off restoration of my '59 LeBaron in late > April 2003.
