Maybe stupid question but, when changing from 4 piston Budd brakes to Kelsey-Hayes type one piston brakes, are the other parts still same? Budd System has tee part with brake warning switch ( looks like very similar with B body) and Kelsey-Hayes made metering valve, that's it no other parts...

Here's some parts for my -69 Le Baron project. LCA bushings and rear spring isolators are no longer available so I decided to try to make these and some other parts . First I did measuring for 3D modeling, luckily these was simple parts and easy to make with Solidworks . After that it was time...

Probably only NOS part but I'm asking anyway: is this available anywhere? Probably same from-69 to -73? Same part in both ends of the propeller shaft. If I understand correctly, parts book only gives number for complete yoke assembly, front and rear. Another question: is there room for...

-69 Imp Le Baron, another torsionbar is bend about 3 millimeters ( 1/8 inch) , the other one is straight. Is it problem or not? Removing wasn't difficult.

-69 Baron's lock strike bolt rubber insulators was in bad shape and needs replacing, but how to do it? Metal parts are recoated with nickel/zinc ( that's why the color is differentt than regular zinc). I was wandering how to make new insulation between parts and easy fix is simply two plastic...

Do I understand correctly: is it possible that-69 Imp ball joints could be press fitted or with threads? And if so, how to identify without removing? Press fitted is round outside and thread fitted is square outside? Thanks in advance, Mika

Is there any idea what kind of plastic (maybe ABS?) is -69 Imperial front fender halves? Thanks in advance, Mika

These welds found from -69 Imp, sad but true (...and somehow funny). I think this should be open for all make and models but factory made. First pic from rocker panel/ quarter panel joint, second from rear lid hinge support (this was a reason why lid doesn't fit in a place). After all I know...

This is only slow drying polyester for large surfaces (you can say there is in fuselage Imperials some of them..) what I can find. Anyone used? Spreading, sanding, shrinking afterwards? I have used U-Pol Fantastic a lot but that's too fast for larger areas. Thanks Mika

This was old idea but tested and worked quite well with this "OldWorkingHorse". We used same kind unit with this compressor in that garage where I was part of the group of friends. All you need is copper pipe, refrigerator and one air tank.. First air goes compressor air tank then to a "cooling...

...I do my best! And I'm learning every day more! Finally starting body work on Baron. I already had very VERY old mig welding machine but it still working ok and now I also have a tig welder beside that. What I can say about tig welding...I need practice, a lot! Some pictures of progress..

Got this one from a friend for a 100 euros. First thing to do was a new window frame out of thick birch plywood, new working lights, connections for filter unit, make it movable with a casters...and so on. But now it's working just fine! I blasted some parts for Baron, painted them with epoxy...

Friend of mine need all kind of weatherstrip seals (doors , roof rail ,trunk...) for his -62 2d ht Imp. Any good and fast place to get those seals, container is leaving from Florida in two weeks... Thanks again, Mika

This is "quality" time with friend, sanding polyester filler! Last evening we had sanding session for my friend's -62 Imp. The roof needs final sanding but every other parts needs "bondoooo"! :p Not too thick layers but still lots of work to do. After all, I was winner. Meanwhile friend 's wife...

Need to move Old Baroness ,so I need car dollies heavy duty enough for her. Only what I found near by was too light . No problem, buy three sets (2 dollies/ set , now I have 6 wheel's for every corner) weld ton of metal for reinforcement and then you have ugly but HEAVY DUTY DOLLIES! Regards...

Now it's easy to read! All you need is FSM, big printer, 3 mm MDF, clear plastic film ,veneer press. When you get older, (..and I already have glasses) this is what helps...:p BTW, do I understand correctly, the number on wire code (like: A1C-10R) , number 10 is wire size in AWG table? Car...

Helping my friend, he have -68 Imp vert and rear axle wheel bearings needs replacing. -68 FSM says that wheel bearing end play should be between .013 - .023 inch but -69 FSM says that it should be. 008 - .018 inch. Any idea what's difference between -68 and -69 8 3/4 axle and why are this end...
