Hahah, fair question.

We bought turn plates off of Amazon, those were ~$160 IIRC. You can see those in the picture if you look closely.

Then, two plumb-bob string thingies (believe it or not, I am not a professional contractor)
Set of metric rulers
Magnetic digital angle gauge
Angle iron
Steering wheel holder
And probably some other minor stuff I'm forgetting

We had building materials laying around too, which helped.

We are now capable of measuring toe, camber, and caster as derived from camber.

I've personally done five cars on 8 occasions, and can do a toe and go in under two hours if everything isn't crusty. All of them came out better than anything I've received from shops with $15k Hunter machines. Gotta love that book time system in entry-level shops.

For anyone trying to do this, I highly recommend FCP's video on DIY home string alignment.
