By grabbing 4 spots on a car, it is easy to tell if it has had a pretty good hit.

Actually bringing this back, Can you let me know what spots these would be?
I'll probably go shopping for an old Commodore or Falcon sometime this year and could know the spots to check.

About 4 to 6 inches from the guard on the sill, front and back if it has had a big hit, there will be dots, like someone has hit it with a centre punch a dozen times....There will be edges on those dots as well....Easy enough to feel and easier to see...

It's caused by the jaws holding the car on a chassis straightener....

Hahhaha, some Gen 1's & II's come out straighter after being on the chassis machine than they did from factory. This is what a bloke who was in the crash repair business for a few years told me. He was told that by the bloke who used to sign off on WWO's, back in the day. Apparently to have them pass they had to be perfect yet some didn't come that way from the factory.

Finished the usual friday food shopping and was walking back towards the escalators when i spotted the new Doughnut King that had just opened . Had a quick look at the price list. A family pack of 12 doughnuts was $42.00, ffs does that include shares in the business too couldn't believe the price.

I could comment about getting paid to make donuts in prison, but that'd be inappropriate...

Paying to support the yanks buying through donut king

When I used to wheel align, the variation was incredible.
We did suspension on the VE's and VF's for the dealer when they wanted them lowered.
Which is how I found the secrets in the rear suspension.

And these guys through the union were on massive dollars pumping out ****. The USA stopped taking VE chassis and GM made the new chassis based off the VE design but made in the US.
