[DeTomaso] Alignment places in NorCal?

[Jim Gray]

Mike,
 
The problem I have at Firestone is getting the car on the rack without bottoming out.  Do you carry along some boards to drive up on?

      - prefer not to go to Custom Alignment
    Thanks for any recommendations...

  As long as you bring them a bit of knowledge, any good alignment shop
  can 'do' a Pantera.  The factory alignment settings are preloaded into
  the database for the Hunter alignment machine at my local Firestone
  store, so it's pretty straightforward for them to just pull up the
  settings and use that as a baseline.  The stock settings are fine for
  street driving; I prefer a bit of negative front camber for
  street/track driving.
  You shouldn't be paying more than $70 or so for a complete alignment,
  and if you watch the junk mail flyers you can often get a $20 discount.
  Mike
