One piece front end 63 Imperial...

[63 Imperial]

Has anyone ever given thought to welding up the front fenders, hood, and whatever else to make a tilting one-piece front end? Just a thought I'm seriously considering... Toodles

That's all they did back in the day. Can't imagine how heavy that would be on an Imperial though.

Too HEAVY...I hope you have big muscles.........
From what I remeber the front fenders and nose are already one piece..

Yes the fenders are welded up to the front sheet metal that houses the grill so some sort of internal pivot on that piece with hydraulic assist on each side fo make it pivot upward would be the plan of attack. I would want to fill in the hood surrounding the fenders or I might just leave it on in case of an emergency and my new fangled one piece front end won't open ha ha!
