1962 Imperial

This was bought used and built up off EbayUS about 5 years ago. Except the engine, nothing was painted, which is an odd choice because when the bonnet is shut, you can’t even see it .

Its chrome was gray, tail lights and hood ornament missing and the white band tyres chipped.

So I scratch built the taillights, added a hood ornament, side windows, mirror. Bare metal foiled the chrome.

So, it turned out alright in the end. Not perfect, but then I never think my builds are.

Very cool car. Nice job on the refurb.

Great work! Nice paint job too. Black is a tough color to work with. Shows all imperfections. Looks great.
