I am thinking about getting the block. For those of you who have used it, I was wondering how much tweaking to the alignment you are having to do after drilling your blocks with "the block".
How much tuning is involved after drilling the block with "the block"?

Zero tweaking required (on the back axles)  Make sure you have a set of perfectly straight axles to test with after you have drilled your holes. Watch LA sounds" How To" video a few times also.It just takes a little practice.  |

I will watch the video tonight. Can't right now because I am at work. So on a 3 wheeled rail rider how much tuning in required on the front wheel or is it ready to go also? Thanks for the help!

Drill the Dom Front axle hole straight, bend your axle somewhere between 2.5 to 5 degrees with the axle head marked with a sharpe in the direction of the bend, turn the axle to ride the rail. Some of my cars ride about 2" in 8' and others 10" in 8'. Buy The Block, It Is Worth Ever Penny |

I have now built three cars with my Block. At first I was skeptical that this was the silver bullet to make me faster. I just couldn't fathom how a block of aluminum could help me drill straight holes. I did screw up a couple of block of wood the first few attempts, but that was me not paying attention to what I was doing. I can tell you that I am a believer now. The three cars I built, took very little adjusting to gain top speed. I am impressed. Super easy to drill canted holes.  Needles are a snap now.  Gonna try truing some wheels next, just got to figure out how Glenn preps his bores, I can't even come close to that precision. Scott Beakerboys |
