Guest Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 I am assisting in the restoration of a 1940 Super 8 1806 Darrin Convertable. The car is complete, however after rebuilding the front end, the car is in need of an alignment. This is where my problem lies. I do not have any information on the proper alignment procedure and specifications for the car. I will be performing the alignment on a John Bean 4 wheel Computer Alignment rack with 4 optical heads. If you have experience with this, or have the specs for the car please post them or e-mail them to me at ChevyMC81@cs.com. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You,Brad Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
