Drivetrain:
'62 Imperial 413 big block. Mopar Performance 492/509 cam kit, fresh valve job with better seals and guides and dual coil valve springs. Weiand tunnel ram port-matched with 2 Weber 45 DCOE carbs on top. Torque Flite 727 push-button trans hooked up to Edsel's Teletouch system. The tunnel ram is all about the stuff-sticking-out-the-hood look i always wanted a big american car to have. The stock rear end is a 2.92 gear which is going to suck, but later on I'll put in a better ratio and a 3500 stall converter.
Chassis:
Stock. 4 wheel self adjusting 11" drum brakes. Once the motor work is done and everything under the car is done i'll put the frame on the ground in some permanent way.
Wheels & Tires:

Body:

After 5 hours tinkering at the guys house to make it run, i got a mile away and it caught fire so i towed it home. At least i tried.

Nice! I used to have a 1959 villager. Looks like you got the push botton on the steering wheel, heard crazy storys about them popping outta gear.

I'm fixing the obvious goof up of not including the venerable Edsel in the "Makes" at MyRideisMe. You should'a told me!
