Yep those arent quit as desirable and the 64^ birds but as long as your allowed mopar bumper shocks and to seam weld every thing on the body they are still fun cars cut that x brace out and make a good flat stack of leafs and strap a beak across the front and let it eat

It’s going in a relic show that’s pretty stock can’t do much of anything cant even put a good bumper on only square tubing 😂, should be fun either way. I feel like the x brace would help it why cut it out?

I feel like the x brace would help it why cut it out? Because when it bends, and it will they all do. Its gonna put alot of pressure your slider or driveshaft some of the coolest cars to run though for sure we have ran a couple 1960 birds but mostly 62-68

It isn't adding material, just manipulating what's there 😉

Yep if allowed for sure these older birds need alot of help under the rear doors after a couple runs with no GTP or down bars (unsure if you can run either) they will dump in front of the leaf pack

Don’t have the rules for it yet, but it’s a very very stock show can’t do much of anything to the old bird except weld a square tube behind the stock bumper. I doubt I’ll run it more then once closet show other the Then relic show that I know will let an imp run is over 8 hrs away and completely diff rules got the old bird for next to nothing, so I figured why not

I'd take the imp especially back to back nose to nose with nothing done to the Y or bumper. I think the Ford has a slight (SLIGHT) upper hand

I do think the comment about not being impressed is really a pretty good point on why they shouldn't be banned. Nosers are still a unibody car with a great stub that has weak points, and full framers are a full frame with a front that isn't really that special, they have a much better backend than a 67+ being full frame, but fronts aren't really THAT great. The only reason imperials are still banned is because they are named imperial.

I'm waiting for bb to see but at may mania imps were getting bent by cadis still. I think back in the day they were a force but as building has came along it really filled the gaps on car to car strength
