Lookin' good Roger! For some reason I haven't been getting updates on your postings until yesterday... Anyway, this is the first I've seen of your roadster with the top on it - very nice.

You mentioned me in your post about setting the toe - here are pics of my "toe boards" in use. They are made of 3/4 inch furniture grade plywood (leftover scraps). The measuring tapes go through the holes so they are virtually on the floor (when the car's on the floor) and under all the possible obstructions (frame, body, pan, etc.). I can't take credit for the idea; I saw some made of aluminum plate being used at the track back in my stock car racing days and copied them.

Jim, I should have gone back and looked at your thread! I like those much better, as they take away the potential error of the extended 2x4's, plus they're so much more compact! Do I recall correctly that the yellow "strap" retainer is just yellow painters tape? Had me scratching my head with the "strap" wrapping behind the brake rotor until I remembered.
