Simply stated..........I'm hunting and picking my way around the underside of the car getting familiar with it and try to figure out what is what. When both ends are disconnected and the center section is a crudely stamped piece of sheetmetal it's not easy to establish a reasonable baseline.
I attempted to establish center via the rear subframe locating holes and I'm now trying to establish outer lines to reference the hubs/wheel mounting surfaces. The centerline was to give a reference to 'square' for all other measurements.
I'm beginning to understand the value of having a full framed vehicle. If I had the equipment to create a digital horizontal and vertical halo around the car it would be somewhat simple.
