1958 Imperial getting put back together.

That black paint sure is sharp! The 1958's are definitely the best looking Imperial but I'm slightly biased.
I'm trying to make out those two tiny dots on the fender, is this a LeBaron?

I am in uncharted water with this era of Imperial. I will find out, I hope to stop by his garage for a look tonight. I'll take some more pictures too.
 
My buddy finally has all the bling bling installed. It is breathtakingly beautiful. That black paint is flawless too.

He has been working on it on and off for 4 years, complete restoration. He was fortunate to find a donor car in the first year. He will be glad to have his garage back. He had parts all over the house and basement.
 
Stunning. Did you get any interior or underhood shots?

I am disappointed in myself that I didn't get a picture of the Hemi, these are actually pictures he took. I will get some more myself.

Check the first post, for an engine shot.

Super nice car. Do you know who did the chrome repair and plating? I am curious that with after all the painstaking work, he didn't go with the factory style wide whitewalls? What are the medallions (mostly in gold it appears) on the rear of the front fenders?
 
That car on that driveway looking down that street takes you back to a better time just simply beautiful!

I'll find out, on the plating, same with gold medallions. I saw them off the car but can't remember now. As far as the wheels go, he is doing a full restoration, but there are still a few things left to do. I know there is more work on the interior too.

Thanks for the update. I'd definately like to see some good interior shots when you get a chance
 
He is having a party after the Nats next Saturday. Hopefully it will still be at the house for a more detailed photo op.
 
A few more pictures, my buddy's daughter took, while out on a cruise.
