I didn't want to assume the car , or the subframe was perfectly square from the factory. After all, they were hand assembled parts that are 40+ years old.

We also ran one of those pointer lasers (the kind with a wide fan beam) down the middle to establish the true center line of the car.
There are alignment holes for the subframe/ body, but again, I'm not entirely trusting it.

I'll try to post a pic tonight.
Cool, thanks; pictures always help
