Add some shims to the front, top

-2.25 degrees camber is too much
https://i.imgur.com/wocd3hgh.jpg
-1.65 is a good 'next' point. with a cross camber of less then -0.01

My first alignment was 1.0 and it understeered
I also set the toe to 1* front 2* rear and the rear camber is the -0.9
caster is whatever I can get - 5 degrees or maybe a touch more

I'll see how that does on Sunday on the season opener autoX

Time to make the die for the gas tank

simple, no?

you know the day is going to go bell up when you're using a razor blade to clean PVC off stainless. Basically it adds hours of refinishing because no matter how good you are, you'll scratch it..... and before someone pipes up 'ceramic - that scratches it too.... just doesn't last as long

time to assemble the internal stuff - Hydramat

I'm using a lot of parts I've had around... like the hydramat from the first fuel system

tune in Sunday for the exciting answer

Tanks for the memories?
with my gear, precision rolls are not a likely result...

what stopped me tonight is I need more clamps.... seriously
https://i.imgur.com/4xHOB3Ih.jpg
drove it yesterday, this is too restrictive so went back to the old air filter

onward
I think I ended up using every C-clamp I have

I also made an adjustable right angle to hold it square. If you're doing this, don't lure yourself into just welding it then pipe clamping it square.

weld a bit, let cool, dolly, repeat

once the outside is welded, I run a hot bead down the inside with an aluminum bar against the outside - it sucks the weld 'flat' with the top... less grinding to make pretty

woohoo, I made a tube
