I guess once you have the jig set up you can put a straight car on it and line everything up.
Nice stuff

Actually busy CAD'ing the door post tooling at this very moment. Looking at building something that will not only locate the door post, but also provide a reference for the lock striker mechanism mounting points.
Looking at the rocker alignment tool next, followed by tooling for the shock towers as well as an alignment jig for the inner fenders, but am first being sidetracked by the rotisserie project, which we really need to get into the Cabriolet "D". Picked up all the lasercut components yesterday, and hope to have the square tubing for it in my driveway by tomorrow.
The idea with the jig is not just to be able to put straight cars on it, but to also be able to straighten them, hence the substantial over-engineering in . Our vision is to turn both the jig and the rotisserie into multi-application tools for restoring a wide variety of Porsche models, so the number of fixtures will certainly evolve. The nice thing about doing it yourself is that you really aren't limited in the type of fixture as anything that can be CAD'ed can be made!
