Sweet ride.

Just an observation, the front camber looks off. Did you use Rx7 spindles without camber plates? I had a 74 with Rx7 spindles that did that.

Correct, I am using Rx7 spindles. I do have camber plates but am struggling a little to figure out how to deal with the alignment issues. I plates arent giving me enough

That sucks. Probably only designed to give full camber with Rx3 struts not correct positive camber you get from Rx7 struts. What brand of camber plates are you using? I wonder what others use?

In the process of getting the car ready for DGRR... This will be my 1st time going and can hardly wait... I will be bringing the car on a trailer because I dont really want to drive it 5.5 hours just yet but looking forward to seeing everyone there.
