The hood, fenders and grill are now on and the pony is looking like a car and will hopefully be ready for the safety check this weekend.

Yours truly trying to clean up the original Magnum 500 wheels to get me by for a while.  New BFG Radial T/A tires have been acquired and are being mounted on Monday.

The console cleaned up very well.  I did purchase after market inserts as well as a new lid for the console storage area.   Steve is shown here reassembling the ash tray assembly.

The seats, console and floor mats are now in completing the interior.

The SCJ undergoing wheel and suspension alignment at Voisin's Garage in Maryhill.

Voisin's have a newer computerized SUN alignment machine that uses  wireless communications from each wheel back to the server.

A total wheel alignment including setting the camber and caster was performed to bring the new suspension into spec.

The alignment went well and the car passed the safety check with flying colours.  The licence sticker was acquired and now this pony is headed for  the barn until the real Spring arrives.

The car drove like a dream.   It was pouring rain so all of the weather seals certainly got a good workout.  As soon as we get another break in the weather the car will be headed to Cochrane Autobody to have the paint buffed and the Mach 1 badging decals applied.   When we get a nice bright day I will roll the SCJ out and take some under hood and interior close-ups.   Stay tuned....
