It's been on the road for a little while now and I may have more than 300 miles on it but from the start it has had a bit of a bounce or vibration when you get it up t0 65+ mph. Couldn't find any place that would balance the "Wide Five" wheels I have on the front so I just lived with it. Well, this week I took it to an old shop in town (been around since 1947) I heard the did balancing on the car. The guy that owns the place did it himself and let me watch, not many places will do that. When it was all done he charged me $40 and I gave him $50 since he walked me through it. Always fun to learn something new. Love this old alignment rack they have. Now the car will scream down the highway at 80+ without a hint of vibration. And you ought to hear it with the C-4 and 4.11s at that speed. Took it over to Derrek's to show him and Kleet how it has turned out, took them both for a ride too. *God Bless.* Tim http://yblockguy.com/ 350ci Y-Block FED "Elwood", 301ci Y-Block Unibody LSR "Jake", 312ci Y-Block '58 F-100, 338ci Y-Block powered Model A Tudor tim@yblockguy.com *Visalia, California* Just west of the Sequoias

Those pic's of the old spin up balancer and alignment rack sure bring back memories, looks just like what I worked with back in the day. Merry Christmas to you and yours, can't wait to see what your next project is going to be. Glen Henderson Freedom is not Free Letohatchee, AL

I think the similarities end there though as my Hunter unit has a fixture that attaches to the rim so that the amount and location of the imbalance can be located. Lorena, Texas (South of Waco)

The procedure was to put your head on the fender so you could "feel" when the vibration was gone. Not something you wanted to do with a hangover! Gary Ryan San Antonio.TX.
