53 off the jack stands
 
The 53 made its first trip to the front end shop and then to the A/C shop for a "charge". temp yesterday was 105* still need the A/C.

A few bugs but it drives GREAT, and does everything I planned it to do.

On to upholstery "jail" !!

Pics to follow, when I find out where I put them !!!!

I like the green. Whats it called?

Thanks folks for the comments,

Yes that is Desert Tire they did the alingment on a custom suspension, Dodge Dakota with 2" lowered spindles and 1/2 coil cut. I was worried that the shops would turn me away because of non stock specs, but he said bring it in time & material !!
The shop that does most of my alingment is way out on the East side and too many miles to drive on a eyeballed set up in the garage.

As for the Green I have thought of many colors to call it like Aston Martin color, but it is a stock GM Cadillac color with some pearl added!
