I may be using the term thrust angle incorrectly, but you are basically checking to see if the rear tires are tracking in the same direction as the fronts. Your toe can be set correctly but the rear tires can still be pointed left or right of the vehicle's centerline. The procedure I outlined will get your rear wheels pointed parallel to centerline. C4 is even easier than C3 as I don't think you have to mess with shims. This was super easy to do on my C5.
Also, set your camber first as it will throw the toe setting off.

I found a Goodyear tire shop that has a drive on no ramp set up for alignment, that I will take it to. $100 is well worth it, just hope the car will clear the uhaul trailer, it did before so..

I've put mine on a uHaul trailer several times. You need the galvanized trailer (not the orange painted one). Extend the trailer ramps using race ramps, wood, etc. Swap the rear 335's with smaller wheels/rollers. I put a 2x10 under the front wheel so my spoiler clears the front lip. You can also unbolt the front lip from the trailer if you need to. Works like a charm. I still think you should align it yourself. Once you do it, you'll never pay anyone to do it again.

Thanks Neil I do not have any other wheels so I will drive it in. I took it several miles today no more than 30mph for the first time and all is well except I am not happy with the brakes. I have had issues with the Wilwood MC.

Yea, if it drives straight you'll be fine. You won't hurt the tires in 40 or 50 miles. I've heard Wilwood recently had a recall. Might be worth a check.

I used a reproduction of the Factory unit in Aluminum sold by SSBC. They didn't have the one I needed in stock and I had to wait a long time to get it. Other than that it just bolted in and has worked fine.

Looks great V, I plan to come down to the first car show you happen to attend with it, just let me know and we'll toast a few sudds.
Interesting issue you're having with the Willwood brakes. I have a WW setup and it works great.
