You need to pull the headlight switch for them to come on. If they still don't work, check the connector at the high beam floor switch. They often get corrrosion from water getting into them.

Glad to see you putting it back on the road, very good looking Imperial.

The old imperials are great, I like all the extras they put on them back Then, Especially the steering.

That ring at 4:29 looks like it's for the fuel filler neck. The spring may be for the door check arm that is likely broken.

I've got a brand new gas tank, sending unit and filler neck for it. The door check on the passenger side is broken, but I've got an NOS one for it.

Your old Huh ? That would be a daunting task for a young professional. Must be love, because it's definitely not a money maker.

The "Driver" for the dash lights are Electroluminescent little tiny white bars or rods that look like warehouse-type florescent bulbs, that Driver/power pack may be bad. I had a '63 Imperial (same dash) and all of the wiring to those bulbs were totally fried from some short or too much current coming from the power pack.

Don't be afraid of locks. You can do it. Most of these are very simple and just go in and you will see how the tabs and keys work. I have keyed many cars to use one key for all locks. Trust me that you should try this and it is not hard at all.

wash it and then do a real quick hand rub with cleaner wax with 2 rags. It's good light exercise if you take your time. Leave the carpet for now and just shampoo everything and work on cleaning the dash. Keep going on the headliner removal . Treat all the surface rust. If you can borrow or buy and ozone generator it can kill all the odors. I would be focused on cleaning and getting it started if possible. When you pull the carpet you should be ready to pull the seats and do everything you need to do and get it back together so it isn't worth it. Just vacuuming and shampoo won't take long and at least it will help kill the smell.

If I washed it, the Earl Schieb paint job would flake off of it ! And as for the carpet, it breaks apart in your hands when you touch it. I've cleaned the dash and wiped it down with a protectant to try and preserve it. The dash is the best part of the whole car !

@@scott6305 - use the biggest jitterbug sander you have to vibrate the carpet while you vacuum the dirt and fibers --- brush on some latex or something cheapr as a temporary measure to encapsulate the fibers.

Because then I'd have to buy 2 new door locks as well. The ignition key is the same as both front door locks. The passenger side door lock had apparently been replaced at one time and was not keyed the same as the other. I didn't want a bunch of different keys to open doors and start the car. I now have 1 key for the doors and ignition.

What a narcissist you must be, thinking that everything in the world was meant for your pleasure. Just to let you know, I didn't make this video for you, I made it for me to document the restoration of my car. If you don't like my videos, don't watch them, I don't need you.
