Instead of tossing it in the trash, I tossed it in the car. We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind. - Stu Harmon

For what it is worth, when I was in Montana this summer, one of my old haunts had a 1967 Chrysler New Yorker two door for sale. It was a rust free 440/auto car, white with a white/black interior. I know it isn't quite an Imperial but they only wanted $1500 for it. If you are interested I would be happy to send a few pics I took and give you their number.

The front brakes on the 94 were converted "older" style Mopar disc and they drag alot. I want to convert to Willwood or something like you have, if it is inexpensive and will solve the dragging brake issue.

AMG = Add More Green AMG = All the Money you Got For me to do another 4 wheel AMG conversion it would cost me $2800 at my employee cost (cost +10%). Retail, the front calipers are $900 each. Once you get the hardware, you've got to get some bar stock, a mill, and a lathe. Spend a few days messing around with that stuff and you'll end up with something usable.

Oh yeah, there's that whole part where I ran around taking measurements and such for you. We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse.

I realize they aren't nearly a trick as Feets Benz brakes but I recently picked up a set of these.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-07-MUS...30#ht_526wt_941 Pretty cheap for much improved braking on a Mopar... Or Ford...
