Front end alignment

Hey gang, I thought I'd share my thoughts. On my 61 I did the Shelby drop, roller spring perches, fully adjustable strut rods, a fat sway bar and Granada disc brakes. Daze Cars recommended 3 degrees caster on the right and a little less on the left. I did that base line and adjusted the left strut r...
