An Update
last updated
Monday, April 13, 2009
It is amazing how many SCJ fans worldwide have been following this
project. I have been receiving emails on a regular basis
asking how the project is going as no updates have been
posted.
The car is still at Cochrane Autobody and progress is being made
albeit slow but steady. Matt has been working on panel
alignment issues as well as some minor smoothing of some areas
especially around original factory seams. The SCJ is now
in tinted primer with photos below.
I still hope to see the car back with Steve for the re-assembly by
month end. For all you fans following this build, I will try
and do a better job of keeping you updated.

Dan from Active Franks picked the pony up at the shop
and delivered it to Matt Cochrane's shop in Blair

The car is now in Matt's paint booth and will receive
some additional blocking before a final primer is applied

Between real work :) Matt found time for touch up
body work and aligning the body panels and doors. He now has
the car in tinted primer and will now do another pass at block
sanding.

The tinted primer makes it much easier to eyeball any
minor hills or valleys and after final paint ugly stone chips in the
paint do not show in a typical black or grey primer colour
