What's wrong is that today many alignment shops say "No" by knee-jerk 
reaction when you say "Corvair," whether or not you have the specs in your 
hand.  Can't do a Corvair, they think, it's too wierd.

But by saying "Corvette" they think "cool" and welcome you in.

My first question to every alignment shop I've ever visited has been, "Can 
you do a 1967 Corvette?"
