One my fifth try, I duct taped all the parts together and put the blob up there with one arm around the drive shaft and the other over the exhaust. I finally got them in; it was a miracle. Would be much easier on a lift, or with the tranny out/ but not for me, I specialize in doing things under the worst cicumstances.

Vincent Welcome aboard, and thanks for the amazing and inspiring story about
the Emergency Brake. The last time I took one of those apart I was a
much younger man, and now pay to have them worked on when they need it.
You know, they were like that for many years, 1962 being the final one.
Enjoy!

Self-Introduction: Hello all! Please call me Bri. I bought this 62
Imperial
from a friend, 11 years ago. I moved it time after time trying to find
garage space. I started working on it in a rented garage that had no
electric, and I had to take the bumpers off to close the door. A
classic day
was when I rebuilt the emergency brake on the transmission; in the
winter. I
had to keep the door open for light. I was freezing and all my batteries
were dieing, along with the feel in my fingers. I finally got the parts
in;
I stopped and laid back in cold and exhaustion, yet victorious. I looked
down at my legs which were pointing straight under the front of the car
and
pointed at the open garage door. My legs were covered in snow! I have
done a
total rest. including the silver pleather for the seats with the last
of a
new roll from 1961! I entitled this project "Labor of Love". When I
finally
make a placard to stand in front of it, the last line will read "COST OF
RESTORATION"....$200 EVERY OTHER DAY. I love Mopar Muscle cars and just
sold
a high powered 69 RR for cheap money due to circumstances. I would have
rather given both kidneys away. I am still not done grieving. I am 50,
play
the drums, like golf, ride a motorcycle, have a great sense of humor,
like
short walks on the beach, dining in or out, movies, and plan to save the
world. Looking for significant other that hasn't been in prison for
murder...
I also have a lot of parts for a 62 or 63 Imp. from my parts car.
Sorry about the length of this intro, but I don't get out much! I wish
every
one a happy and healthy 2008.
Sincerely,
Bri
