      Since I was still waiting on my drill rod and right sized washers to get here, I didn't any parts to work with Sunday, I built some homemade alignment tools.







      Custom fender height measuring device...



      Slide plates...




      Everything still need a bit of tweaking and I need to reposition my camera differently, but here's a video of them in action for the first time.

      I think it will view better if I have the camera stationary, not stuck to the car and I need to find out if my digital angle finder has a back light. Also I'll figure out a better way to measure the toe change with more accuracy.

      Notice the two pieces of laminate under the tires, had them kicking around...cut them up and they slide on each other real nice. Should be able to hang a tape measure across the front and back of the 1/2" steel rod to measure and set toe real easy by myself and can also measure camber pretty easily as well. If I can figure out a way to set the upright part of the tool in line with the ball joints (can't see them from the outside) I can measure caster with them as well.

      Anyway, that's how my Sunday went, hope all or yours was good too.
