I have a guy here in Pasadena that does a great job. He's been aligning cars for over 25 years (when I used to do it) and he's very meticulous. He's got a new state of the art Hunter machine. It's a drive but probably worth. He does all of the Emmons S/S and S/E cars. He's slow, but he's good.
The shops name is Bill and Son Auto. His name is Clifton. They are located off Spencer Hwy/Beltway 8.
Good luck!

I will he is close.
One question, the shop I took it too told me it would cost more to align it (than the regual $60) because they would have to 'pull' it harder? What does that mean? That kinda scared me and I asked if something was really wrong and he said its common on these cars. What does the term 'pull' mean in an alignment. Only time ive heard that used is to pull a frame straight lol. TIA

Well I had my X-pipe done there and the guy that did it did a good job on it. My Dad wanted to get his 95 Dodge Dakota dualled out and Stan said that it only has one cat and it would make him fail the emission test. Well my Dad was planning on running two cats and 95 and down vehicles they do the sniffer test instead of the scan. Also I saw you were located in Tomball.

Probably wanted some more cash from ya. If your car is not lowered they can only go so far on the negative camber if thats what your looking for. As far as needing to pull on it hard I call BS. I don`t really know I`ve never aligned a F body befor. What am I talking about I never aligned any car befor.LOL
