need a front end alignment shop for custom hot rod

AC MkIII · Jun 3, 2017

I have a replica 65 Shelby 427 Cobra and need a shop that will let me drive it on their machine. Very heavy clutch and tight foot well makes for a very step learning curve.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Check with OldTowne Automobile in Prince Frederick, if they cant do it they can probably recommend someone who can.

Don't know if they'll let you drive it up but the guys at Auto Italia in Rockville are big hot rod guys. They know what they're doing and have seen it all.

Can't be any worse than the 1100hp Supra with the Clutch Masters clutch I had to drive in a few weeks ago. Least driver friendly clutch I've had to deal with in some time.

If you have your specs, as I doubt our machine will have anything for a '65 Cobra, I'm willing to give it a go.

See if MDS member SRD can help you out. He owns an alignment shop in Annapolis area.
If you can't reach him via PM- I can get you his number.

Prolink in the industrial park in PF has the 4 individual stands. They use a normal car lift and then lower the car onto the stands.

First of all, pics or it didn't happen

I am with these guys, unless it is a member here or friend I doubt you will find a shop willing to let you drive onto an alignment rack. Insurance purposes.

It simply cannot be fixed. I'll trade you my 2003 V6 Mustang for it though cause I'm a good guy.

JPC Racing in Millersville specializes in Mustangs. I trust Rich there with my M3.

Interstate budget tire in Cockeysville does a lot of racing alignments and I would trust them. They did a wonderful job on my Turbo Miata.

I just had my Avalanche done at a sears on a inexpensive groupon and they blew it out with a toe and go...and "its all in the green" and I had to explain to the service writer about caster angle and cross caster causing the pull that they had aligned for. At which point he called for a tech for me to talk to, the tech that had not aligned it agreed with me that toe would not create the pull and promptly took my keys and realigned my truck properly...at which point I was asked how I knew so much about it... 17 years as a master level tech lol

Auman Automotive in Mechanicsville builds a lot of customs and rat rods. If they can't do it, they probably could guide you in the right direction.

SRD is a good guy that does great work. Done a few alignments for me and was happy every time.

FrankOceanXray · Jul 2, 2017

Where os SRDs shop? Ill be needing ome..or two.

AC MkIII · Jul 4, 2017

Thanks for all the replies. Sorry i didn't get back sooner. I have been very busy lately so again thanks.
Here is for the picture inquirer

BradMacc82 Do you work local?

Geez, that's gorgeous!

That thing has to be an absolute monster.
Love the old-school header tank

BradMacc82 · Jul 4, 2017

Local, for the moment. PM Inbound.

EndangeredMooseknuckle · Jul 4, 2017

Whoah, that really is a beaut..

BossmanPJ · Jul 5, 2017

Oh I bet that thing is a blast to drive! One of the only cars to walk away from my Mach 1 back in the day on the street was one of these. It had a 427 as well with a blower. That car was stupid fast.

I'm talking walk away from a high 11 second car fast. Have you ran it in the quarter?

AC MkIII · Jul 6, 2017

thanks guys.
It is a beast. 482cu in of ridiculous power in a 2500 lb car.
It is not set up for drag racing but I have had it at MIR. They kicked me off the track after the second pass for going to fast for what safety equipment I have in the car.
12.0 @ 120mph with street tires and babying it off the line.
