Can anybody local in the Dallas / Ft Worth area recommend an old Mopar friendly alignment shop? Somebody who knows and cares about these cars. This is for a 1970 Super Bee which has had the entire front suspension replaced or rebuilt. Upgrades include FFI Fast Ratio Pitman and Idler arms, QA1 upper control arms, and Hotchkis 1.10 torsion bars. So looking for an alignment with more focus on handling.
Thanks
1970 Super Bee, WM21, 383, auto, FY1, a/c, project!
1971 Chrysler 300 2dr, U-code, console car
1980 Chrysler LeBaron LS Limited coupe
2008 Chrysler Aspen, HEMI

What you're looking for may be hard to find. I ended up just getting one of these kits and it has worked out well for the Hotchkis suspension on my 'Cuda. It's not a fast alignment process, but I can do it at home without worrying about someone messing with the car. 10,000 miles on my tires and they wear great. https://www.wheelalignmenttools.com/product/2-wheel-alignment-system/

How does that work?

Wow..that's crazy. I live in a town of 70k....I could point the OP to half dozen(including myself) shops that could do that alignment and do it right. We just put QA1 upper arms on co-workers 69 Bee and lined it up...turned out great! Wish the OP was closer..I'd be happy to do it!

How does that work? pdf download - casterIt's not going to be as great as a laser alignment, but I won't really let someone monkey with the older hotchkis UCAs that I have. They are ridiculously hard to adjust and I don't need someone getting frustrated and cross-threading something on me.

I just had my Challenger done at Miller Muffler off Mill St in Lewisville. Ask for Nick.
