Had some old Riggen press-on front rims and built this little jig with multiple adjustment options. Was using aluminum plate but switched to holed plate to offer more positions of bending.

Nice build! A very useful jig that gave you the desired results you ewere looking for. The photos appear to show 1/16" piano wire stubs at the tubing ends. I'm not familiar with those fronts, do they fit a 1/16" axle? Are they drag fronts, or something else?

Yes 1/16 for drag fronts. Doing a few hardbody 32 deuce drag cars and needed more drop axles.
