At the shop today.....

I just got back from the shop and the car is aligned. Boy it needed it. Left side camber was -1.3. Right side was -2.1. Caster left side was 0.3 and right side was -1.9. Toe left side was -0.28 and right side was -0.23. I would say it was way off,..LOL. They also adjusted the torsion bars. She's now running straight and it even looks better! The owner was so cool and helped the tech the entire time and made sure it was set correctly. I'm really happy with the outcome. Going back next week for some exhaust work. We'll be removing the 3" tailpipes and turndowns will be installed..!

Thank you!! I'm diggin the car better and better everyday. No salt on the roads here plus it is only 1/2 mile away and I laid down a nice smokey burnout for the guys when I left the shop. Fun day.

They raised the drivers side and lowered the passengers side. She was leaning a bit and it's straight now. Can't be happier with how they did the job.

You're right. These guys are great. Real car guys and old school. Taking time to make it right the first time.

Man I miss my computer! Getting on here with my phone is so aggravating, and its causing me to miss out on so much of this forum... This is the first time I've seen your '66. Just wanted to tell you it is one sweet ride! Love the red paint with the white top!

Thank you very much. I love everything about the car. I owned a lot of Mopars over the years, and this one is one of my favorites next to the 71 RT challenger and 74 Rallye challenger I had. This is my first C body and I'm diggin it.
