checking frame...and new wheels
So I found an interesting post on how to check the frame: hang some plumbs on each corner and make chalk marks at the plumbs on the concrete, measure diagonal to check straightness. I suppose you could snap a chalk line front to rear and measure the distance between on the ends as well? Geometry again, lol. Also, pulled the trigger on the OPGI 17 inch aluminum rally wheels: 17 X 8 for the front (stock height disc brakes), 17 X 9 for the rear (drum brakes, air shocks). I wanted to get the wheels and mount them to check for clearances before buying tires but please feel free to make suggestions!!!! The new wheels are set up to be centered in the wheel well. The last thing I was wondering: if the front end bushings were shot, I assume the rear ones are shot as well. Should I wait to have the car aligned until I get the rear end rebuilt as well? Only putting 10 miles on it since last October is Killing me!!! Of course it usually isn't at the top of the "to do" list.
