Yeah, ever since YouTube was bought out by Google, they've been cracking down on the use of copyrighted music. Some songs survive, lots don't.

It really sucks when a video is edited to a certain piece of music and then YouTube deletes (and/or replaces) the audio track of the video!

[EDIT] John, I notice you've now pulled your video off YouTube. Did they remove your audio or what?

No, I removed it before any more notices, I got scared they'll take me away.

I'll be playing with different audio or maybe I'll just post it without audio
There's no story without audio and bkgd noises are crappy.

That's odd that you got "notices", because when I've tried to use copyrighted music it was detected by YouTube during the video upload process and the audio was immediately deleted.

With no audio left, I didn't bother leaving the video(s) uploaded.

Really different, it's like another car, I was so use to fighting with it just to keeping it on the road when flooring it
I'll have you test drive it and feel the difference.

Okay, video is here with different audio (will see how long this will last...

I don't recognize the song, but it's got a bit of an edge (which is a good thing for your car videos).

Today I visited Blair and Ang at the Choc. shop, on the way there the chopper was tracking nice and straight but
had that floating feeling to me, now on the way back the rear end feels like it's really floating and swaying back
and forth until I slowed down. It was never like that before.
I called Mike about it, said that everything was checked and was fine.

So now the chopper is not safe to drive anymore, what do you think is wrong now?
Thanks
OLD Johnny Boy

Do you think it's the rear wheel bearings ?

Did Mike not check the rear wheel bearings? (Didn't you and Dave just replace them a couple of months ago?)

It's difficult to imagine that something would fail right after having Mike's shop work on the car. Very strange...

Did you check the tire pressures in case you picked up a nail?

I think if the car continues to feel odd that you should drive back out to Tru-line and have Mike try it for himself.

Yep, Dave change bearings, but Clynt said sometimes they only last a week (the cheap ones) that's what I got.
Just came back from another spin and it's worse than ever, it really rocks from side to side at the back and that floating feeling, the chopper
is not tracking flat, it feels like the rear is lifting and rocking and it's not me, I'm on the wagen

Going to check tire pressure now...
Type to you later

Okay I'm back, tire pressure is fine, but my blood pressure isn't
I think I just got a bad alignment, the rear is not properly toed in, it's not tracking flat and swaying, rocking
back and forth and building up to more swaying.

When you told Mike about your problem, did he not suggest you bring it back in? If not, that's rather disappointing.

Man oh man, why is it so tough to find a place that can do alignments on these cars without a whole lot of grief?

I called Mike back and told him that the car tracked better before, but now it's worse than ever with that floating, lifting swaying
back and forth from side to side. He said he can't do anything more to it, so I said can you put it back the way it was because it
tracked better and he said sure , but I'll have to pay him, which is okay after all he did do a TRU-LINE fiero specs job.

So the issue is else where now, maybe a bad hub or something?

So there you go     

Oh, I forgot to mention this swaying back and forth is a lot more pronounced at highway speed.

John, maybe it's time you and I did another video on the chopper.

This time we'll focus on the fact that it doesn't handle worth a sh*t after having the alignment done at Tru-slime.

Then we'll post that video on YouTube.

[EDIT] I didn't see your last post when I wrote this!

If I had to choose between one or the other, I think I'd prefer dealing with a jerk who at least stands behind his work.

I still can't believe that this guy wouldn't want to make it right.

Is business that freakin' good that he just doesn't care?

If he's not capable of doing the job right, the least he could do is give your money back. What did he charge for f*cking up your alignment?
