The story of what had been done to that Jensen in a previous workshop, it gives a perfect picture of the difference between what you guys at Retro Power offer in the way of complete re engineering to give a perfect performance package balance to compliment a beautifully presented customisation job. Personally I'm not much into "customisation" per se, but have grown to appreciate Retropower's "whole bespoke package" approach. On other things, nice "cammo" shorts Marc, shame about the legs. I appreciate your humourous perspective on the areas of work you're involved in, you're obviously very talented at whatever you do. Work isn't always serious!

My thoughts and Reading about Ackerman angles are. A straight line from the Steering arm Ball joint centre thru the bottom ball joint should for the perfect Ackerman angle should go thru the centre of the Axle Diff. So any steering rack mounted forward of the crossmember will be harder to get the correct Ackerman Angle. Hope you guys can confirm or Deny this. Thanks Phill

It is quite normal to have slightly more caster on one side. Road cars use this to overcome the fact that roads aren’t flat, they are higher in the centre. We drive on one side of centre so the suspension geometry needs to correct this, otherwise the car tends to pull one way. Hope I’m not telling anyone how to suck eggs, just an observation. Cheers guys, love the channel 👍

Disappointing that the same sort of content is still here on the main channel. As far as I can see, he's a great paint and body guy, as well as having many other talents around the shop, however, I just don't feel that representing your brand on such a public forum is one of them. Just my opinon though.
