Yesterday was a major alignment day. We began by putting the vehicle on the lift and removing the rear dampeners. With the rear-end vertically disengaged we were able to remove the springs and install the spring height adjuster. After completing the rear adjustment we moved to the front. We started by setting the camber as positive as possible in order to properly set the toe. Then, under the guidance of Mr. Garcia, Tyson and I began meticulously adjusting the toe, one turn at a time. While we were aligning the toe, Gabe cut out of aluminum the right interior door panel and riveted it to the door frame. In the subsequent weeks we will continue adjusting the caster and camber, as well as, designing and fabricating the left door panel.
Though this Saturday's task list was short, these were two very time consuming and meticulously precise exercises. That's all for now; with school over we'll have more time to work on the car and keep you all posted.
