The trouble is that most mechanics these days are under 30 and they have never aligned a car without the use of the computer alignment rack. The other problem is most modern computer alignment racks "don't" have the alignment specs for early Mustangs or any other car from that era. Oh, they'll charge you $45 but you won't get an actual alignment.I went through this about 5 years ago. The dude aligned it and when I drove away it was nowhere near true. I returned to the shop and the mechanic told me, "I only did what I could do because I don't know the specs. If you can get them I can punch it in to the machine and I can start from there." Fair enough answer, but my front end was still out of line. I have since learned to do it myself using manual tools bought of line. It's not like the front ends on these cars are GT40 race suspensions. Its just basic math combined with proper tools. Anybody can do it. I have about $150 in tools, if that.
