Maybe its the offset of your wheels that is different from mine. I have not done anything to my fenderwells.My tire lays on the fenderwell when I set it down and my engine crossmember is about 3/8" off the ground.

look forward to seein' those pics LilRob... could use some more inspiration right about now. Lemme know when you get em up, or throw 'em in here.

Big Dee- What's the offset on your rims? They look about as wide as the ones on my Caprice... maybe they're the same offset?? I thought about putting them on the SS but they're a lil skinnier than I wanna go out back. The ones I'm worried about fitting at the 22s and they're about 1" to 1.5" wider...

Are y'all running drop spindles? I have some I wanted to use but I heard they move the wheels out a quarter to a half inch sometimes... anybody dealt with that? On the fence about running them or just notching for the tie-rods. Also heard they ride a lil better with bags for some reason. I have no experience with ANY of this stuff so lemme know what y'all think... all I know is stuff I've read on different forums so not sure how accurate my information is.

sorry it took so long but finally got those pics.i am running the belltech drop spindles and have had no problems my fenders where also pie cut but we add to the door pillar and a new window cowl so it still looks stock. hope to see some more pics and progress.

Hey Rob... thanks for the pics man!  You really cleaned up under there... looks great.   My car got to be too much so I had to take a break... been sitting out at my brother's house so I haven't made much progress.  It's running finally though so that's a start.    Anyway, now that I'm looking at your pics I have some more questions.  I have headers and it's already a b!tch to do spark-plugs.  I'm looking at that bar you made for your power-steering res and accumulator etc.  Does that make it more difficult to get in there or can you just unbolt it from the firewall and lift the whole thing out of the way?    I like that idea but just curious.  Also kinda wanted to get my wipers back working... I had to ditch the motor too cuz it wouldn't clear my taller valve-covers but I read about people flipping them.  Might just keep rolling with a squeegee in the car though Hahaa...   Also, did you get rid of your cruise control or is it tucked over there somewhere?   I'm determined to get this thing bagged this year if it kills me... lol... try to be better about updating.   Thanks again for all your help.
