Headlamp aiming sevice at C body show.

Hope Tim is OK With this..

I am offering to aim headlamps if yours are out of whack.
I have an original vintage Hoppy aiming kit.
Just need a flat surface and a phillips screwdriver!
Takes about 30 to 45 minutes depending on vehicle.

Pm me for cost, and before I leave on next Fridy so I can pack the kit.

Don't need to have "3-T" style headlights for that mechanism to work?

Nope. Works on all types of headlamps.
Kit has all the adaptors!
All the cars I aligned were upgraded to H4 housings.
The kit wotks just fine on modern say housings

Aiming headlights was a part of obtaining my PA state inspection license way back in the early’80s. I knew those Hoppy aimers well.

I'll volunteer my NYer to be your first at the show.
I'm planning to have Volo Museum do an appraisal on the 71 while at the show as well.

You should get yous new TNT car appraised.
I never bought any old car as an investment, but it just happens to be what they have turned in to.
I guess we were at the right place, at the right time for once in our lives.

I know Grace is a rare car. But no Canadian records to back it ip.

Nice kit! I copped a set of those rims this past winter, all 5. I used a church wall w some Gorilla Tape and a tape measure to tweak my headlights into a polite configuration that might pass in some States that care. Pity I can't make the Show.

After the FCBO show we went to Tim's shop for some adult refreshments and I did the NY'er's headlights.
@sixpkrt Removing the bezels..
I calibrated the units and mounted them on the low beams.
Yup...they were waaayy out of whack!
Not surprised since the entire front clip was removed during is refreshing couple years ago.

I have a Hoppy kit (found it on line several years ago) but for some reason the aimers will not attach themselves to the lamp. Possible bad suction cups/vacuum. I don't see how they come apart and the instruction manual does not have a trouble shooting section.
If your going to Carlisle i could bring it for examination.
Thoughts?
