Thread: Followed Me Home II

Tweet

My quick morning Costco run ended up having a 5X multiplier when a truck picked up something from the highway and flung it back to my windshield on the F150. Whatever it was contacted in two places 1/4" from the edge and I immediately had two cracks a foot or more plus two or three smaller. Automatic replacement, no questions, $600.

After I got over being angry and had my appointment at SafeLight for tomorrow, I decided to whip out a pair of Jim's plywood jigs. Got them mounted and found that I was dead even, zero toe so it was worth the time and material! Cranked the back side out about a turn, and measured ~3/32" toe in. TCI's spec is 1/16" with radials, so I think it's good to go.

Yesterday I found a wheel & tire place in California that had a couple of sets of Cragar's 50th Anniversary 1965-2015 center caps so I decided the coupe needed them!

Thanks, Jim Robinson for posting the pictures of your "toe boards". Mine are hanging on the wall, until the next time.

Love those Cragars, had a set on my first car, 68 mustang!

Crikey. That'd make you spit wouldn't it?

Or rip your hat off and jump on it.

Three times.
