HotRods DIY alignment
Well, I am a few days late. Took a while to find photoshop and figure out how to make it edit the crappy scannings. Here ya go. Oh yeah, I will put in a pdf format if you guys want, but I dont have anywhere to host it.

Nice timing, just installed steeriods and will need an alignment soon. Now if someone would post good street performance settings (caster/camber/toe in) I would be ready to rock.

Gotten better lately and I have gotten to the point where I can finally follow along with most of the articles they are writing. Some pretty good technical stuff coming out. Most of it I can't use or do but, still decent stuff.

The magazine's only $4 guys 
Lots of other interesting articles also. It's good to have a more permanent copy though, magazines don't tend to last long with me
