All of my measurements for the frame and cradle are dead on even. It's also nice and level in the chassis.
Track width looks like it's going to be pretty good as well.

This just looks cool to me pokin out of a first gen wheel well.

So, the rails and cradle are square in the car. All dimensions side to side and cross corners are equal. Double checked factory corvette service manual and both sides are supposed to be equal. Need to do some more figuring though as the drivers wheel is a little further forward. Hoping it's just something alignment related. Ran out of time today. Had to grab the little one from school. Hopefully more tomorrow if I can find some time.
If my wheel issue is simple it won't take much to lock everything down and finish up the front. Chassis wise it's coming together nicely :)

F ewe lol. It is straight. All the points they show to use in the factory manual are dead on square. Just the wheel is back. If I kick the subframe back then my motor will sit noticeably crooked :p
I'm thinking it's in the alignment settings. I just kind of tossed all that together to make the chassis a roller so I'm hoping that's it. Otherwise it's a bent control arm or something?

Well it's not like those suspension parts came out of wrecked car or anything. Oh, wait... :haha:
