I've got 1/4" more tire clearance on the driver's side wheel well than the passenger's side. I traced the problem to the frame being offset to the passenger side by that much. Is there a way to get the frame centered under the car in my garage, using basic tools (jack and stands etc)?

Thanks in advance,
Tim D.

There are body locating holes on your frame.
you got to loosten up your body mounts and use a peice of rod.. don't hold me to this ( shooting from the gray mater ) 7/8 OD..???
Buy a coupe has the holes at the two front body mounts and at the rear side body mont in front of the wheel well.. you poke the tube through the fram into the body locating holes.. there are to at the rear spring pad
If your front end is on. it my mess up your fender/door gap and hood,fender cowl vent gap..
