The real "secret" to the cars were you didn't have to baby the front end. If you know the cars well enough, you'd notice that the front fenders were welded to a steel header panel that attached them together across the front above the grill, and another in the vent intake between the back of the hood and th bottom of the windshield. Once you bolted the flat hood down tight into the "hole" it sat in, as opposed to on like most cars, it was a one piece front clip. No matter how hard you hit it, it would only wrinkle a little at a time.
@DDS0296 жыл бұрын
After these were banned, because if you had five or six running against each other, it might have been whoever had the most fuel would win. With the largest legal gas tank, that could be the next morning (LOL). Many switched to the the full sized GM wagons. Lower the tailgate about an inch or two, then weld it everywhere you could, then it was close to being as strong as a Imperial.
@wibo32184 жыл бұрын
DDS029 the sedan caprice is stronger i think. If its not so rusty and they weld the trunk up so its a one piece rear and front end it might be even stronger than a wagon because the roof will always make it bend down.

My guess would be for fuel economy. You could only get it so fast in such a small track, so you only needed to be close on power-to-weight ratio. Because you would need enough gas to run it long enough if at the end you were facing another Imperial, and had to have enough gas to out run it.

It wouldn't be so bad but the car was actually in a restorable state. Bought direct from the US just to be smashed up here. To me they have no respect for classics. They say they can buy and they can do what they want with it, but if they like banger racing, find a car that wouldn't be as valuable or rare. And these people wonder why the classic community dislike them?

If follow-ins are banned in every other banger formula why not in national bangers as well? I see no sense whatsoever in piling into the back of a car that is already stopped. If you are driving modern cars then they just can't take the sort of rear end collision the older iron can, the buggers fold up like an envelope. So,why not keep that sort of thing a D.D.

The engine was probably worth far more? Maybe bought as a rolling chassis and received a Ford 6-pot. Leaves a lot of room at the front to soak up damage. Acceleration doesn't matter when there's that much metal moving. The 6-pot engine maybe has better acceleration and the stick-shift manual trans is far stronger.

The frames are pretty much the same from the late 50s (57? I think?) thru the 66 imperials, I've even seen some other late 50s Chrysler/dodges that had that massive 8" wide frame under it like the imperial... but for the older ones it's a lot to do with prepping the car and pre-bending it. On the winged imperials you fold the wings down to the trunk lid and run althread to the frame, or weld it to the trunk lid if allowed.. on the front end, where the fenders over hung above the head lights you beat that down and weld or bolt it to the core support or even top of the bumper depending on what bumper and where it's mounted and how much the sheet metal over hangs... I've personally only ran boxcar (64-66) imperials but I've seen some tough early 60s ones and also done a good bit of research on making the older ones tough because I was going to run a 61 imperial one time until they banned imperials at the tracks I ran mainly because everyone got tired of being beat by my 64, I'd annihilate fresh cars with it, the ole girl still had some runs left in her, it broke my heart to put it in the crusher...

I saw the one at the 2014 world at ipswich.what a beast they are.The way it keeps coming back for more really reminds me of the horror film "christiene".Its always a shame the old classics getting wrecked especialy at these Amble meets were over 100 are destroyed in one night.But dont blame the drivers.Its upto the people selling these cars to choose who has it and who dosnt.Bangers are as good as they have ever been unlike the dropping turnouts from other formulas.Which is a shame.I raced ministox then 2 litre stocksaloons and would love to race for spedeworth again.And i guess it would have to be national bangers as there now the only formula that you can still follow people in.. Great video thanks for sharing
