1958 Imperial getting put back together.

[Zymurgy]

My Mopar buddy is restoration a 1958 for a friend. I stopped by to check out the progress and help install the hood.

Very nice....Love the black paint. Imperials always look better in formal black. It's like a classy tuxedo.

This is an outstanding paint job too. It is going to be a beauty. He is doing everything but the interior. He just got the chrome back and is installing it and the trim.

I have mountains of parts for this car if you need --- all mechanical parts -- brakes, front end, ignition, electrical, etc., etc. -- ALL NEW --
No "pieces of car" -- fenders, quarters, mirrors, radio knobs, etc., etc.
Nice looking "Christine"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is the car a coupe or four door? what model and color of interior, Did he do a frame off or what also, mechanical and interior?

It is a four door with blue interior. I don't know the model. He did a frame off restoration. He restored everything but the interior. The Hemi has been rebuilt completely along with the transmission. If it didn't work is does now, along with the A/C. It is now owned by 2 cousins whos fathers, used to own the local dealership. They are essentially the second owners, it was one of their father's car.

Very cool

58s are one of Imperial's best designs I believe. The front ends were so much better than the 57s. Beautiful car. Chrome plating looks great.

For me the "toothy grill" is what sways me toward the '59. However the '57 or '58 Imperial with an 392 Hemi motor is a difficult "Elephant" to not overlook.
