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.

*** YOUNGSTERS, ASK FOR HELP, PERMISSION, AND FOLLOW ALL POSTED SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ON THE EQUIPMENT USED****

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.

Done!

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

Here is one posted by Mr Smitty, that might could go with this tool also.

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!

Awesome! You really just need a surface with parallel  ridges to hold your axles straight. 

Keep the good ideas coming!

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!
