Front Alignment

I am installing a steering rack into my '79 Midget.  It is getting new tie 
rod ends.  What methods do clever listers use to align the front wheels for toe 
in/toe out adjustment?  Short of taking the car to an alignment specialist?  I 
was told that because the camber and castor are set that the front alignment 
could be adequately set with a string that you run along the rear wheel then 
adjust so that both horizontal tire surfaces of the front tire touches the 
string.  That sounds reasonable, with a back-up check of the difference between 
the rear of the front tires and the front of the front tires.  Any thoughts or 
other methods?
