Re: IML: 8-track in imperials & originality

[Longramx2@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I totally agree with rex. My opinion on any car except maybe a super rare $100,000. and up original, like say a hemi cuda convertable is that you should make your car as enjoyable as you can, without worrying about 100% originality. Applying your own personal touches  to your imperial is what gives it a character of its own, and sets it apart from the rest. I plan to paint pearl green spikes down the side of my black 60 2dr crown with mint green leather inside and custom wheels, on the flite sweep deck lid I will replace the lense in the center with the big eagle from a 64's fuel door. I would'nt take a saws all to my imperial but will add my own taste to the car and dont care who likes it as long as I do, after all were'nt imperials considered to be factory customs to begin with. Also while on the subject of sound, there are places out there who install modern stereo's inside your original leaving you with original looks and modern function, has anybody here had this done ? if so I'm intrested in hearing about the details since that also is on my list of things to do.
