Default wheel alignment???

Sorry if this was done to death, but I searched the forums and didn't find anything. I had my differential rebuilt and (while I'm at it) I replaced the trailing arm bushings. I got it close, but not perfect. I remember reading someone posted about an old time alignment shop in Charleroi pa. I think the guy was retired but still did c 3s. Anybody remember this place OR can anyone recommend a shop in the mon. valley pa.?
Thanks guys

There use to be a good Vette shop in Mount Holly NJ that can do it or recommend someone. The last time I had mine done, I found an older wrench at a Sears that remembered very well our old C3 vettes. He did a good job. Unfortunately that was over 10 years ago and I'll be searching myself this spring after I rebuild my rear suspension. Good luck and post the shop you used if they did a good job!

Thanks for responding. I guess I should of been clearer to my location. Sometimes I think I'm talking across the back fence. I'm from south western pa. and what we call the mon valley is south of Pittsburgh along the Monongahela river. Not many old timers are left around here that deal with c 3s.
