It's an education mate..........in a somewhat masochistic way.......similar to croc wrestling I guess. :sieg:

Tedious work is an understatement. My core strength/tone has improved as this has basically been 4+ day palates workout.

Not having a means to accurately replicate the acquired data points in the future is frustrating. Wishing I had copied Stielow's hitch ball jackstands and locating pockets as those would give you a chance of accurately duplicating data. Though without a surface plate the measurements are still only approximates.

The upside is the measuring techniques I've learned will apply to future fabrication projects.

To summarize: I'd suggest slamming your appendages in the shower door until you come to your senses, then go find a shop in your region similar to BMR and throw your wallet at them. :lol:

Two observations,

1. You have nice handwriting. I can't even read my own sometimes.
2. You forgot to carry the 5.

:lol:

:lmao:


You even resorted to using the metric system... lol...

Been there, done that bro...feel your pain. Trust me though, it's worth it once the magic is inserted.

And is that hardwood oak floor in the garage, or did you move Norwood into the living room?

:D

Sieg's garage is cleaner than my living room.

Although a cool project, may have been eaiser to take it to a shop with a 4 wheel alignment machine, have a beer and watch them work. LOL

57hemicuda 04-17-2015 10:58 AM

I've probably back halved 30 cars, and I'm lost!! LOL

SSLance 04-17-2015 11:28 AM

I was under the impression that the reason most of you owned 40+ year old cars...was so that you didn't have to invest in metric tools...

Yet here Sieg is using metric measurements to blueprint the suspension pickup points on a 46 year old car. :confused59:
