Hi all!
A buddy of mine just had all new front suspension parts put in his 68 Firebird by the best mechanic I know, including steering box, pitman arm, idler arm, even subframe bushings. He even threw on a driveshaft loop :)
Now the question is ... Does anyone know a real good front end guy to do the alignment, my friend the mechanic isn't allowed to do it at work. Looking for someone that knows what they are doing with older cars.
I have him (the owner) talked into going to Rainier Run with it, but he needs the alignment first, and he wants me to paint his other hood too, hopefully ABC can match the original color (Red). He is running a 1970 GTO 455 HO that he bought from me about 20 years ago, and hardly takes it out of the garage because it isn't done, so getting him to take it on a long run was quite a feat. I do hope non GTO's are invited, I never did find out for sure. :oops: It does have a GTO heart!
