Do you have all the missing parts?
Thank you for turning 10:41 off the music !!!
I googled it and I saw the dash in a 55. The gear shift handle was up on the dash too. Remember that plate that said Imperial that he put in the back window? That goes right between the driver's seat and the door.
I think that's a standard with what they call a three on the tree. The interior was amazing. Did you see the little square box on the back of the seat as he was just driving away? That's an ash tray ha ha.
Good to see that you took care of that rust. Rust under a vinyl top usually turns cancerous if left unchecked. Heh, patina is a concept invented by someone who ran out of money in his restoration project.
My cousin Steve Dixon had one of these cars. The grill reminds me of Robby The Robot. That was years ago. Before he went away to Vietnam. He came back but he was never the same.
Had a 53 4dr in the early 60s.
Ruined the patina...
In Canada, the Impala, was also called a Pontiac Parisienne, with Chevy drivetrains and didn't have Pontiac's wide track suspension, (U.S).
I'd get a trunk lid from a 1960 Impala, so that the car would have backup lights.
235, which on a Canadian Pontiacs was a 261, pales in comparison to Catalina's 389.
In Canada, Pontiacs were rebadged Chevrolets, Strato Chief, was a Biscayne, Laurentian, was a Bel Air, and Parisienne was a Impala, Canadian Pontiacs didn't Pontiacs fame Wide Track Suspension, and weren't Catalinas.
Thanks for the tutorial! From Manitoba? I’m guessing that new epoxy grey primer has replaced the old red oxide
SMASHING I LIKED IT
I have the exact same thing to do on an 1968 AMC Rebel SST
I like your setup and how the gears worked. I have a 62 Rambler with a push button gear system.You turn the key on which is on the dash above the gas pedal and then press the nuetral/start button in a cluster like yours to start it.
Glad to see another video. Really enjoy your stuff!
thanks for watching!
I have some questions for a mechanic. 53 Pontiac has cracked block - how do you fix that? How do You know for sure you have a cracked block? 62 Rambler has bands you can tighten on the transmission- where are they? 89 Pontiac Grand Am needs flex plate tightened up - how do you go about that?
Is the block cracked by frost or heat? where? internal danmage? When it comes to spesifications on clutch or automatic transmissions, buy a shop repair / service manual for that spesific car.
@@DaysofCars When it comes to my cracked block, I bought it that way but they were driving it until it was parked. So may be it overheated. I'm not sure. I think maybe it leaks underneath.
@@icemancometh8679 Ok, i would first locate the crack and then clean it. Cast iron can be welded with special welding rods for cast iron. Not easy if under car and best with block out of car and done by someone who knows what he is doing. May be cheaper to find another block. There is some repair kits with epoxy, but it is not perfect. Could also leak from rusted freeze plugs, there is 11 of them on a straight 8 i think to check, and that is an easy fix.
@@DaysofCars The freeze plug sounds very interesting. I know what you're talking about. I'm just not much of a mechanic - not a mechanic at all. 😁 I'm just going by what I heard. A guy that runs a salvage yard offered me the block out of a fifty three like mine but it came out of a car they used to hunt coyotes with. They cut the top of it off, put a bench in the back and ran through the farm fields shooting coyotes. I think the water pump gave out on it, but I was so afraid of it not being good, I didn't take it. You know, why else would he wanna get rid of it? ( I like the freeze plug option anyway) 😁 Mine has a tag on it that is from 79 and I bought it in 89. The owners had painted it black with a paint brush - it was originally turquoise with a white top. The black paint actually protected it. I say it looks like a cop car. It doesn't turn over and the belt is loose so I can't turn the engine with the fan blade. I could also tell you the story about my 89 Pontiac Grand Am LE but that's just another nightmare.
Awesome. Thanks for the video.
Glad you liked it!
Very nice car. Wish I still had mine
I enjoy your video especially when you work on nice cars like this Imperial. You are a good mechanic.
..And i enjoy work on special cars like this, trying to do as little stupid things as possible is my strategy... Thanks man!

What is this car
1956 Imperial : th-cam.com/video/p6dR4rCj7jc/w-d-xo.html
What colour you doing the rest look good in red
Good question... The original colour is... pink! can you believe it!! with ivory roof.. I can`s see in my mind other colour on this royal type car than gloss black, with all that crome on. But the value is usually kept highest by sticking with original colour on collector cars. Any colour you suggest?
The tool that helps me out quite a bit is the SCT tool through eastwood company works awesome 👌 😊
Good to know, I was close to buy a drum grinder machine to this job. But what stopped me was the roof was rusted so deep pitted, and i wanted to save as much fresh metal as possible. Notting beats that rust picker brush tool so far, and it is notting like a normal wire wheel. I bet that SCT tool you are using is fast when removing paint and surface rust, but how is it when it comes to heat and the risk of warping?
I used the SCT tool on my 71 ford f100 & my 66 chevy impala no warpage that I can see at this time. It's a very nice versatile tool sanding drum attachments, different grits in scottbrite drums & even a descaling drum 😊
@@redreddington3714 Ok, great! I will get me one of those, Thanks for your advice!
That was a lot of work getting all of the rust from the roof but sure was worth it. It looks great. I forgot what engine it has but it sounds great. Regards from Ody Slim
Yeah, six working days to get the result i wanted. This 1956 Imperial got the original 354 Hemi and can`t agree more.. it sounds great, but it got a bang sound now and then so it will get a tune up. Thanks for watching!
@@DaysofCars Thank You

I enjoyed the video. What is the back story on the car? Providing a verbal commentary during the video would be an improvement. Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Don`t know much about this cars history, but i will look into it if i get time. So far i have no time for talk, but maybe later. Thanks for watching!
Hello
Hey Hey Hey
Clean the carburetor
Yes, carburetor need a overhaul for sure. At least a new acclerator pump or much more... Stay tuned and this 57 will come back!
Belle voiture et très belle musique. Bravo
Then we got same taste in cars and music! Thank you for watching!
See a little WD40 and there you go❤
Вот не понимаю я смысл устраивать эту дрочильню если машина не заводится. Ну покрутил 2-3 раза, если не завелась она уже не заведется, ищи причину. А это крутит, крутит. Все равно потом идет искать в чем проблема
she’s an beauty
The cars you have brought back to life so far were easy peassy, but this one is gonna be a hard nut to crack my friend! Wish you luck😄
Yeah, need all the luck i can get on this one..😁, so thanks!
I had one I revived when station in Ludwigsburg Germany. It was in a Army POV Lot, fixed the exhaust manifold, plugs, fixed the Bosch fuel injection system, ran it for 3 years. Super Family Sedan.
Amazing that it runs so sweet!

Thank you!
