Richard, that's probably as good an explanation for home fabbing an independant front as I've seen. I think it's particularly useful when starting with thin air for the build up. With a fully intact front assembly like it sounds here, I'm not sure that keying off the crossmember wouldn't accomplish the same results, as long as it's in it's original configuration. (meaning no "collision" damage or hokey, homebrew modifications). A key point to carry away from your posting though is the need to establish a reliable datum surface from which to do all the measuring and setup.

Dave, don't forget to shorten the ends of the steering rack tie rods or you'll never get it to toe in!!
