An Imperial would be a good choice!

With Wyatt as an influence, I doubt that will happen.

So the reason I bought the GT was for these pieces for the Brougham and Monaco....
Finally a floor shift column, super clean back seat and a nice black dashpad.

The rest was a bonus!

Passenger side burned in. It is not as perfect as I would like, but I am my worst critic. Going to start working on the rust in the back seat area next.

A floor mat will hide the seams.

I havent gone back over and cleaned my welds up yet. Seam sealer and undercoat like the factory did should make most of my work blend in.

I very carefully cut the rusty floor loose from the trunk divider braces and drilled out a bunch more spot welds and here is where I am at. Got a little more clean up to do to make sure nothing got missed. Next up trimming, fitting, and more welding!

One more all nighter and it should be in. Note to self: repair under the back seat before the trunk floor on the next one. Thats the way the factory did it anyway and it would save a few hours of work. Oh well.

Tonight's progress. Andrew and I are going to town on this section. When I cut the rusty areas out I chopped right through the bump stop for the pinion snubber. So I carefully removed what was left and put in the one from the 73 to use as a guide/ledge to hold up that section of patch. Worked out great. We got it all trimmed out and layed in. I will be pulling an all nighter waiting for Minnesota's new owner that is en route from Florida. Heres where we are now.
