Breaks look real good. What's the size of your tires if you don't me asking.

OK guys need some advice. Getting ready to roll the car back out to start hanging sheet metal. my question is what do you use for referance spots to measure and level the car? I made my dolly with all four points of support adjustable for height. Do I use frame rails front and back to level???
