I live at the coast so no good alignment shops here. Any recommendations for a good alignment shop west of Portland? I just replaced the front suspension on my '69 Mach.
Thanks, Craig

I've had pretty good luck with Les Schwab on Imbrie Drive in Hillsboro. They are right off of 26 and CP Road. They aligned my Cobra and seemed to do a good job.

Ok. I wouldn't let Tillamook Les Schwab touch my Cobra but the one I mentioned did a 4 wheel alignement on my lowered '03 IRS Cobra. I watched them do it. I watched the machine readings, watched the techs who are familiar with mustangs carefully work on the IRS specs. If the same guy is there I bet he could handle 30+ year old car.

Another choice would be Alignment Specialties on TV Hwy in Beaverton.

Call Bill at Alignment Specialties in Aloha. He has aligned 4 of my Mustangs.

Ditto on Bill at Alignment Specialties. He can set up street cars, drag cars and road race cars. Hes an old hot rodder. Really knows his stuff.

Click to expand...

Your best bet on the exhaust might be a kit from summit. Either one of their kits, or just some of the mandrel bends they sell.
The only mandrel shop that I know of is in Bend.... waaayyy too far.
If somebody does have a mandrel machine in P-town, they could make bank.
