to square up a car or to check to see if it is . you need the chasses measuring guide of the car so you can check the measuring points . a measuring guide gives you all the places to measure from and to . we do this to all our cars that are getting a resto . if the car is out of it's meaurements at all from spec we them mount the car on the celette bench and give it a pull into spec . if a car is mounted and you brace the crap out of it you can do the work on a rotisserie . i have found over the year of doing resto's it's just not worth it . we have a car right now in the shop that the customer did the resto on him self with the car on a rotisserie . he braced the crap out of it and the doors he can't get the gaps right . the car is out of spec by 1.8 mm . you may not think it's much but it makes it a total of 4.3 MM out . you only have 2.5 MM + and - making it a total of 5MM to be in spec . the sad thing is when the car was turned up side down the tops of the door gaps opened .
