Chevy G Body Chassis / Suspension Setup WAY more than an Alignment!

- Before anyone says it, no THIS one isn't Old Man's Garage Bill's but it might be what he has in store for the future of HIS 1979 Monte Carlo! This one came to us from a new customer who needed some assistance getting his suspension properly set up, and we were happy to squeeze him into the schedule! While this IS a gorgeous example of a Chevy G Body, there's not a whole lot of the original running gear left in this machine. So custom alignment time it is!
Whenever you are doing a vehicle like this, where it's mostly a drag race alignment, or a mixed street and strip setup, or even a road race car, there are a lot of little bits and pieces that come together to get a suspension properly set up. Part of why it's hard to ever quote out a time and cost on something like this is you never REALLY know what you are getting into, what combination of parts they have, and what adjustments need to be made. Somewhere between 2 and 10 hours is typical!
Use this as a Advanced Alignments 101, or How To Do Drag Race Alignments for Beginners, or Bump Steer for Newbies, but realize that every single car that comes in and goes on the rack can be a completely different story. And 9/10 times there's at least one hidden surprise just waiting to jump up and bite ya!
Nice job Rich, it's awesome that people trust you with their toys. That really says something about you and your shop. Keep up the good work
It's incredibly flattering and humbling every single week that we have these machines stopping in for a bit of work.
I love it when you get all technical with a hair and a smidge, those I understand.👍
Another highly technical term is a skosh 😉
The owner brought it to the right front end Master Rich!! Always a outstanding job!!
Rich’s wife says he’s good at working on rear ends too…
Thanks Rich on another successful alignment on a drag car. Very good Video!
💯👊👍
Thanks!
Excellent work sir!!!! When I get my Nova back together, I will give y'all call.
Austin and Rich are hilarious!!
As a former alignment tech, I enjoyed that.
Thanks

Nice and clean job
Successful surgery for sure this thing should be night and day different than when it showed up!
How much is a job like that will cost to do the whole front end alignment
Well done 👍
Cool 😎 !
Thank you for the videos
Almost forgot about you guys I subbed❤
Don't forget about us! 😀
Detroit n da building eye had the same problem front runner tires catch grooves in street from from 18 wheelers making grooves in road FYI....
Billdozer is gonna have some competition
Because most shops these days set toe and that's it. You do a real old school alignment like I should be done
You're the man!!
Where is your shop located
The old man Bill should be getting some good ideas about his 79 Monte'.
Yeah put a bunch of gas in those back in the day....neat car ...good content....thanks👍
👍👍
Thanks!
Rich, do you correct the alignment dimensions and afterwards compensate for the driver's weight and fine tune the alignment?
drivers weight is in the car for the process
Just curious but, i thought that car had a removable quick release steering wheel which would make re-clocking easy, at least in my race cars. That way you would noy have to do it at a universal joint.
on some the quick release has a master spline.
Where are you located???¿
The Columbus Ohio area
I think that's bill's car because he has the same looking one and his motor is done and he had all the parts waiting and the viking shocks
I thought it was omg monte from thumbnail
Wouldn’t you have been able to pull the 5 Allen bolts on the steering wheel and just move it
Bill Hoskinson now owns a rare 78 or 79? Monte Carlo,factory 4 speed car
79
Boyyy. That whole car us metric
looks alot like the leaked pics of bills car
It's not bills because it has a LS in it and he would never put that in his
