I started stripping my 66 imp and I was looking at the front fenders. Is there anything anyone does to these to make them any stronger. They look pretty flimsy to me. Thanks

they are. What can you do except double them up, reinforce with steel somehow...

I'm running a 66 imp in full weld fair class. Frame seams are welded, 4 down bars, kickers to a arms, and gas tank protector. It will have a flat stack of leafs, but can't decide on long leafs or short. What are your opinions on this? Thanks

Does anyone have a set of stock bumper brackets for a 64 imperial they would be willing to sell.

Should be the same. What do you want for brackets. I'll need them shipped to California. . I know you will not know shipping yet

Hello everyone, I am getting confused on the direction of where to look for tips on a car I am looking at. It's a 1962 Chrysler 300. Is it considered an imp? If this is not the right thread, direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

im running a 66 that was setup for sbc with the engine moved back and sitting on 1/2 inch plate about 3 inches behind the factory crossmember. will a rear sump 302 fit where the sbc was without changing the setup thats there or will it take some mods to get it to fit right? i dont see much info on 302's in these and im just wondering if its the same way you would setup for a sbc or if i have to mount it differently. i will try to remember to get some pics of how i get it in there because of the lack of info about the subject on the site

if you got the stock upper and lowers from the merc it should drop right onto the same plates that a small block chev was mounted to. and just make sure the steering has clearance
