The purple car is officially here in Joysey now. Arrived this evening. All safe and sound tucked in the garage now. Will update tomorrow.

In the garage.

Now where do I start assembling???

First, I guess I'll start from the ground up. I have to tighten all the front suspension bolts. Dave indicated he left it all untightened because his alignment guy usually tightens everything during the alignment procedures. Luckily when the trailer arrived we noticed a castle nut on the floor. Looked underneath and both tie rod ends had fallen out of the spindles. Whey! Now that would have made it exciting when it came time to roll her out! No problem. We threw my son under the car and made him screw the nuts back on. That's what skinny teenagers are for, right?

I pulled all the boxes and parts out of the inside and trunk and got her up on stands now. Let the fun begin!

The first real thing I need to do is get the white headliner installed. The entire interior revolves around the headliner being in place, first. Hopefully that arrives soon...

My first addition to the car - now it's officially a Mopar.

I've had this Pentastar emblem in my dresser drawer for 35 years. Finally used it on something worthy. :-)
