Fair enough!...I'll try and post them somewhere in
the next little while and see if anyone has ever seen my "trunk bump" before on
any other car....A web page on the site would be very nice! but what I'll do is
wait until I redo my Imperial late this winter so that I can give you before and
after pictures..Mine should be interesting as I notice a high percentage of the
owners in this group like to stay very original and are more into factory
restorations rather than doing any custom work..Mine will be a mild custom.
Now Now!, before I get any hate mail! the car will not be destroyed!...just
lowered a little, painted black, maybe some very very faint silverish with pearl
ghost flames, tinted windows, some nice wheels and a nice rumbling dual exhaust,
with my "famous trunk bump" and the "s"'s on the side of the roof already in
place , it should be quite the eye catcher..A little "pimpin'" but not so much
that it will make die hard Imperialists squeemish..very tastefully done!....like
all my customs! ;-)

Hi Andrew:
You can not send images
to the Imperial Mailing List. We don't
allow attachments for a few
reasons but mainly because so many of our
members are not in the United
States or are in rural areas of the U.S.
and don't have broadband
connections. You can however host your image
elsewhere and send a
link to that image in your message. I think
photobucket offers such
a free service and your ISP should offer you
webspace where you can
put the picture. We would also be happy to build
a page for you on
the website. If you would like to do that you can
send pictures and
the story of your car to me or the webmonsters at
iml-webmonsters@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
