In a daring automotive adventure reminiscent of a classic Top Gear challenge, the Donut team took on the restoration of a 1952 Chrysler Imperial. Facing the daunting task of replacing a leaky transmission, they turned to Gearstar Transmissions for a cutting-edge solution. With the transmission removed, the team encountered hurdles like a unique engine setup and a stubborn locking ring. However, with perseverance and the help of Donut's dad, they made significant progress, suspending the motor and installing modern adapter kits for essential components.

The team's attention to detail extended to upgrading the oil filter and fuel pump, ensuring the Chrysler Imperial would run smoothly for years to come. A test of the shift linkage showcased their commitment to functionality and performance, a hallmark of any true automotive enthusiast. The project also saw a nod to a sponsor, Tuxmat, highlighting the importance of quality floor protection in the midst of a gritty restoration project.

As the restoration neared completion, the team focused on fine-tuning details like painting new wheels and minimizing modifications to the firewall. With each step, the Chrysler Imperial began to transform into a true automotive masterpiece, a testament to the team's dedication and expertise. The project encapsulated the thrill of automotive restoration, blending classic charm with modern innovation in a way that only the Donut team could achieve.
