Let the games begin
 
First We had to get the car up in the air and level and Jim made a jig for the front. I am glazing over this, but great care was taking to insure the car was perfectly level, secure where it would not move and referenced on the floor in case it did move that we woulld see it and could move it back to the correct position.

Don't people just L O V E paying a "pro" shop (like Jakes) to mess up their cars... and then pay a new pro shop to rebuild it correctly!?!?!?!


You wonder why people go "postal"....


Any idea how Jakes managed to build your chassis 3" too long??? WTF! BTW this is not the first "issue" I've heard of with this particular shop.

Man I wish mine would get 3" longer when it gets excited.

On a side note this really sucks and I feel for you.

I contacted Jake on the matter. He stated that he would pay $2000 to have the front corrected. It has been 3 months since that conversation and I have yet to see a check. I guess we will see if he is a man of his word.
