wheel alignment tool
Ever since I discovered this site, I have been brainstorming ways to do some stuff that :
A- might help us all
B-be easy to do
C- be inexpensive... ( cheap just sounds so.. Welllll cheap really)
D- make all this more fun.

This is my latest idea...
You need only a couple simple things.
Dollar tree 8 for $1 round pencils ( x2 or more packs)
Dollar general $3 mini glue gun
Dolar general glue sticks
Paper towels
Hard flat surface.

I alternated the erasers so the holders won't make them crooked.
Flipped it over...and glued the heck out of it all over the place.

Made sure they were tight together.

Took longer for the glue gun to heat up, then to do the project itself!
It isn't pretty, but it just might work!!
Viewing this post submitted by Mr Chris, will help explain how it could be used

I hope they don't mind I included their posts. I mean no harm.
As of yet, I still have not tested or used any of these tools.
Build, Use, Race!! At your own risk!!
GOOD LUCK!!
HOPE IT WORKS!

No problem, Boone!
The racing is fun and it keeps you coming back for more. But, for me, it's about building stuff. ..making cool stuff...and helping everyone go a little faster!
Awesome! You really just need a surface with parallel ridges to hold your axles straight.
Keep the good ideas coming!
