some of you may remember I had a few problems with my conversion. lastly being the fact that a shop told me I needed $400+ in repairs to the front end before they could align it. Went to another shop yesterday and "to my amazement" all those supposed problems that I had with the rack I put on 3000 miles ago disappeared. They said the wheel hubs could be replaced but didn't need it and it wouldn't mess with the alignment. but the "inner tie rod" that was suppose to be bad wasn't f'n tools at the other shop. I will post some pics after I spray it down with a hose.

thanks. feels nice to drive it. brakes work great. Still needs a little adjustment on the booster rod but other than that I am very happy with it. front wheels rub a little at full **** but everything else works great.

Hey Man I am happy you got it together and are street worthy again, you can always pick up a couple Rack Limiter to stop the rubbing when you have your steering wheel turned all the way.
