The green monster will be sitting on all 4 wheels tomorrow for the first time in 11 years. Where do I start w/alignment and how do I get there?

Just set the toe-in to be about 1/8". Done.

Congrats! Exciting, FYI if you want to defer to a shop remember the biggest thing I found out in my search was there are very few machines that can accept the narrow track of our breed....

I use 2 1X4"s and align to less than 1/8. Closer to 1/16 but what ever you do remember that it will change as you put a few miles on it.

Kurt.

Exactly, and, one of the big advatages of Spridgets is they have parallel rocker panels making setup very easy.
