The Wittek tower clamps are pretty finicky. I do a little prep to them before I install and I'm super careful when I clamp them down usually using vice grips to keep them straight. Even then I always...

IMO that '69 would look a lot better if it was lowered an inch or so. Looks like a nice car, but limited pics to judge.

June 2003. I was 26...yikes. Before I was married and had kids. It's a trip to think about how familiar I am with the names and online personalities here but I've never met any of you.
