Thanks. What you see is the way it came, and I've done my best to keep it that way.
What has been work is improving roadworthiness and driveability. The SC was not in use when we got it, steering was sloppy, brakes were dodgy and it ran very hot. The fuel gauge failed on the drive home, etc. Over the years much of this has been made right, but steering and brake issues remain. Found an earlier (long shaft) steering box locally and will combine parts of the two in hopes of great improvement. Brakes, I ain't sure how to get better performance. There just isn't a whole lot of stopping power available from them, and now that I've found much more "go" from the engine, the lack of stop concerns me.
My Dad wasn't that guy, Fid. His HJ came out of Midland, Michigan as a clean running, driving unit. Very close to original blue, six without od, a pretty nice driver but it always felt somewhat "delicate", and seemed unhappy at speeds over 50mph. That was the major reason I didn't try to keep it, too.
