Can anyone recommend an alignment place or person for C3’s? Or has anyone done their own that can provide some insight? I get the basic principles of it just not sure I want to tackle this one but willing to if not too in depth.

Find a Corvette club in your area [that has some C2/C3's] and ask who they use.

They do. And he said he had some shims. I have like 4 or 5 shims on each side now. Can those be reused?

yes and no…theoretically you move from one side to another…the problem is it depends on what’s there ..if thick you cannot make small changes…you need assortment…especially smaller ones
