Re: Alignment question

Nice job Hotrod. I've done classics that way.
Also a trick is to get 4 thin aluminum/sheetmetal plates as big as the contact patch of your front tires. Take two of the plates, put grease in between them and place it under the front tire. Do the same with the other tire. You can move the tires to the left or right easily by hand when adjusting toe in/toe out or changing tie rod ends.
For Camber I use the method you decribe (on the rim only like you said. The bottom of the tire bulges outward) and use a degree angle finder for accuracy. THis allows dialing in by degrees.
