61 Front End Alignment

[James F.]

I'm nearly ready to get my '61 aligned. Is there any recommendations for the shop? I have the blue book numbers, and can only hope the shop can do it correct. Any help is appreciated, I will have to get it towed there to eliminate scuffing those new Firestone 6.70's. Thanks, Jim

be certain the shop is familiar with the 53-62 corvette and 49-54 chevy pass car front suspensions. few young alignment folks have ever talked such an alignment. pick an old fart. like me. mike mccagh

Re: 61 Front End Alignment

What Mike said. A few years ago while interviewing shops to align mine I began talking to the late 30s early 40s tech about king pins. He said yea, I heard of those. I thanked him for his time and crossed that shop off my list. If you have a REAL restoration shop near you ask who they use-not just a paint and dent body shop. If there are SACC members near you ask them. They know king pins. Good Luck!
