Re: Re: IML: question @ my 1951 Imperial

Well the only thing is that it is so hard to get parts for this car. I mean it is in great shape but there is only so much you can do with it. I am only 25 so maybe I can't appriciate what the car really means but I know that I have been searching for things for the car for a long time. For example. The car is a clutch-o-matic. There is a slight problem in the tranny. The clutch works but you can push the pedal all the way to the floor. I can't find anyone who knows a thing about it. The same with the engine. It is a 331 Hemi. I just want to paint the heads and clean it up but no one knows enough about it to help.  And in the condition it is in, I am afraid to drive it because I dont want to do any damage to it. When my grandpa had it appraised in 2000(the car was 49) it was valued at 10000 dollars, but I have no use for a car that is just going to sit around. I believe it needs to be driven. So that is why I want to do the custom work to it so I can have it the way I really want it.  

P.S. The radio runs on tubes and doesn't work, but no one seems to know how to fix that either.
