    Good for you! I did alignments for years and have used the "eyeball" method many times since I got out of the business. I'm also the proud owner of a 72 FIAT 124! Love the build!! Please keep the videos coming!

    Thanks for the eyeball wheel alignment tip, did my 911 3.2 the same way, drives much better.

    Wow! I haven’t seen one of these in years! I used to see these when I was a kid waiting for the school bus & city bus. I thought they were neat little cars bc they’re so small.

    Good DIY!
    That car is awesome and the open air makes even more appealing.

    Nice! I would make it just slightly more complicated as follows:
    Center the steering wheel.
    Adjust the tie rods for zero toe-in, either by eyeball as you did, or by measuring between the same tread line on the front and rear of the front tires.
    Check the wheelbase measurement on each side, rim edge to rim edge, to ensure that the rear axle line is parallel to the front, and adjust if necessary.
    Mark and use the tie rod length adjustment sleeves to gauge and match the amount of toe-in added to each side by counting the turns from the zero toe-in setting.

    I did mine with a piece of string, some tape and a tape measure. my 1996 Buick Roadmaster sedan has a more narrow track width in the rear so I couldn't do it your way.

    same question if car front tire and rear tire is different width? and what with correction for wheel and suspension work at drive?

    this proceedure is correct ONLY if the wheels and the tires are perfect and the front and rear track width is exactly the same., otherwise, it will not lead to an acceptable result.

    Did you have to trim or roll the front corners of your front wheel wells to accomodate the front tirs?

      Yes I trimmed the fenders a bit
