    For Alignment I would recommend DuSold Designs in Lewisville. They are not the cheapest, but he knows what he is doing. I had put some adjustable strut rods on the Mach probably 15 years ago...I had it aligned 3 or 4 times since and everytime they said ALL is good. I had other reasons to take the car up to DuSold and when he checked the aligment we found out that the passenger side strut rod had ZERO adjustment in it and was out of spec... I got the strut rod modified so it had some adjustment and then got the alignment finished. Also you can be there with your car and see what's going on...none of this stand behind the line stuff...

    Kind of tells you something about how many alignment shops out there would actually be recommended by someone, doesn't it? 

    I use Pete's Tire in Waxahachie.  (Not exactly north Dallas).
    He has an old school tech guy that can do it.  Kind of grumpy and doesn't like to hear your input, but he got the car aligned where it goes straight.

    I finally gave up on an exhaust shop and ordered the stuff to do it myself.  Finally getting a lift in my shop let me finally get an exhaust system installed I could live with.
     

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    sooooo  bring it over to Steves for a exhaust??  If you can wait until next week I'll ask a friend who did mine,,, his shops (yes two) is in ft worth but only does old school stuff by special appointment.  He worked on my 66 for over 4 hours yes the ft end was a mess,,   This week  he's at Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale AZ.  I'm heading there myself be back next week.

    Garland Safety Lane has done three pre 70's mustang alignments for me. All were fantastic.

    Re: Can anybody reccomend an exhaust/ alignment shop in North Dallas

    A little place in tiny little Pryor Oklahoma gave me the best alignment I've EVER had. I made an emergency stop there on the way home from Tulsa.(yeah I got lost to boot!) Best alignment ever and, they did NOT take advantage of my on-the-road situation. Plus their price was LESS than the crooks at Pep Boyz(who I worked for at the time).They had it so out of whack I get them to re-emburse  me for the two front tires that  were nearly "eat-up" because of their mess!!.
    Make a road trip out of it!!

    Garland Safety Lanes was One of the Places I had my alignment done that told me it was Perfect, then I found out the Strut Rod had No Adjustment in it. As always YMMV

    GSL was a good fit when Paul was there but he passed away.
    Then went to the in Waxahatchi that MS recommended. He spent two and half hours but works much better. Slight pull to left but handles much better and no skipping.
