Well, I wish I could post a video, but I got running today and everything seems happy and healthy. Took it up the street and pissed the neighbors off, so that was cool. It's got a little scoot. Hoping to get it to an AMC event this year maybe, trans is pretty noisy, but I suppose that's sort of typical. Clutch grabs pretty high but seemed to work ok, definitely need to shift it with some authority. |

Do most guys bring there drag cars to an alignment shop or do it in house? Andy

I brought mine to an alignment shop but make sure they don't mar your nice wheels with the machines clamps! Ask me how I know.if I could do it at home I would, I'm getting to the point where I don't trust anyone to touch my junk.

Car looks great, ya gotta be excited... Agree, I'd do my best to be able to align it myself at home. Toe-In can almost be done with a tape measure. Jegs / Summit used to sell a Camber Caster gauge in the Dirt Track Section and there was an optional Toe-In attachment iirc...

So, I got it to the track last year but it didn’t work out well. I did a burnout, got the car staged pretty good and left right around 6k and had nothing but tire spin. I definitely need to get a professional alignment done and go over the chassis again before taking another shot. Worse yet, #3 was taking on water like a sinking ship. I left it in semi-disgust at the end of last season and haven’t had the time or energy to address it. Fast forward to today and I pushed it out of the corner and I’m gonna get it back together. I even called cometic and they were very quick to say that the RTV used around the water ports caused the failure. I hope they are right, because I will be pretty disgusted if it happens again.

Awesome car and I hope you get it sorted. Did you manage to find any 90/10's for the front, if not what shocks are you running?
