Make sure the wheelbase is the same both sides, 0 to +1/2 on the camber with the car on the ground, 1/8 total toe with the car on the ground,0" with the front end 4" up, and 2 1/2 to 3 degrees caster will make this car go very straight. Roll bar shouldn't have changed anything, but the car should have been on its wheels when the bar was welded in.Floor pans being replaced shouldn't have changed anything. Our wagon has had new pans. The floor is isolated from the frame with the factory body bushings. Make sure these are all good and tight.These cars are pretty easy to make work. What do you suppose that the 455 Vista Cruiser guys went through with those things corkscrewing into the night? Good luck,keep us posted.

Thank you for the specs and the help Greg. It may not get done right away with money being tight but I will keep you guys up dated when I can. As I said earlier you guys are very helpful with the info and I really appreciate all your help.
I plan to check with Jim Boudreau about the set up as I believe he is the one who did the most work on it after purchasing it from W A Lee.
