If you display it with the wheels turned, you'll never see the slight toe issue.  Only when it's dead straight ahead and viewed from head-on will the fronts look a little toed out.

Okay thanks. Just need to make sure that I swage it correctly, and we're all good. I appreciate the help, and suggestions.

About 15 seconds over the candle to start, if it doesn't mash down enough you can heat some more and try again.  Too much heat too long and you run the risk of melting too much.  If you are uncomfortable with the heating, you could drill a #80 hole thru the post and pin it, just have to be careful with the angle and the post isn't too thick, easy to break off.

Warren thanks I’ll give her a try tomorrow when I’m at that stage of the build. I will take my time and follow your suggestions. I appreciate it.

Took the chrome off the exhaust, and intake assembly and the fuel tanks. Easier to paint the support brackets frame color, and the exhaust assembly, and fuel tanks Aluminum.
