NEW JERSEY guys: Reputable "Old School" Alignment shop or guy?

[MackDa600]

Finishing up my 68 R/T front end is in major need of alignment. I have installed adjustable strut bars, tubular adjustable upper control arms, on the tubular K frame. My run of the mill alignment shops don't want to get involved because the computer cant fix it! Anyways, I need help, car is basically done on a 100% nut & bolt restoration, but not drive-able because of the way the front end currently sits.

Looking for an honest shop or tech that knows what they are doing on these cars, that I don't have to explain myself to and essentially tell them how to do it. Can work at my house if needed (with their tools).


Thanks

I'll be watching this. I'm looking for one myself.
My trusted alignment mechanic closed shop about a year ago. I know of a very reputable, trusted Mopar mechanic in N.Jersey, but at the current time he is not equipped to do in-house alignments. At least not just yet.

Would he have interest in "getting it close"? LOL

If you have installed all the stuff you described yourself than I think you can get it close to alignment yourself. With a FSM (for spec. ref.), a tape measure, cheepo mag. protractor and a relatively level floor it is not so bad and kinda fun.  Also you may well find out if an alignment can even be done considering the number of non oem parts you are using and the possibility that they are installed incorrectly or are non compatible.

When I replaced all pivot  points and bushings on my c500 I tried this myself in the garage (my first time at alignment) and when I took it to the pros to make it right they told me it was close enough but they tweeked it a bit and said all was well.

I admit that an alignment with stock parts is not what you have but your car and wheels don't know what you have done.

Used to be a great shop on 202 between Ringoes and Flemington, on the right side headed toward Flemington. I moved away a long time ago and have no idea if they're still there or what the name was. Maybe someone that still lives around there might know.

My local shop in Millburn has done alignments for me before.  The owner, Chris, has a lot of classics and they all race cars both road track and drag.  He'd love to see another Charger!  I trust them, good people.
