What Operating System are you using? THere are image resizers you can download for free.

XP here --> http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ertoySetup.exe

If Vista or 7 a quick google search will find it.

Once installed you can right mouse click on your picture and there will be a "resize" option.

Dont know if anyone has ever ran into this problem but the rear of my car is off center an dont know how. Ive got about 3/4 of inch wheel to fenderwell clearence on the drive side yet on 1/4 to 3/8 of a inch wheel to fenderwell clearence on my passanger side. Geuss im just drop all th rear susepnsion today an see if i can straighten it out. Anyone ever run into this? Its on stock suspension

Off set is normal, they are all like that. You can try to loosen the leaf plates to see if you can shift the rear end housing over. Or just center it when you mini tub and install your link suspension in it.


I had a similar project a few years back but mine came with a 396, power glide, drag suspension, Weld wheels and a stink bug stance.

Gotcha yea ill probaly loosen everything up an try an center it cuz for the time being im staying with my wheels so i just wanna stop the passanger side from rubbing when i hit bumps.

If your planning on a major rebuild, I would figure out exactly what you want to use the car for and what you want it to do, and be realistic about it. Then plan parts around that. No point in spending thousands on suspension if you just cruise it and never track it.. If it were mine, the paint and overall car look pretty nice, I would probably just ditch those wheels and get it lower (I like stuff slammed, but you may just want an inch or 3) with some quality suspension parts, and spend some time planning out some new wheels and tires. On my car I was going to do exactly that, but then I thought if Im buying wheels, I might as well mini tub it and get the wheels in the sizes I really want. Its been off the road over 2 yrs. now, and that is called the "snowball effect", it will happen to you lol. Good luck....
