Default CSX 4000 series body / frame assymetry
Well, I finally got CSX4788 to the alignment shop (it was so badly misaligned that the front wheels did not point in the same direction and one of the rear wheels was rubbing on the body work (and less that 1/16" from the frame). With the frame level, one side of the body is about 3/4" higher than the other. I know the original cobras, being hand made were never symmetric (which oddly was a complaint that some people had about the Kirkam cars being "too perfect"), but has any one else found this with their Shelby? Is the body on my car weird? Is it not mounted properly? Any comments. Any guesses.
Thanks
John(;-)
