Well you can go several ways with it since it is an x frame so the frame will need to be modifyed. What size tire do you plan on running. The rear frame closest to the tire can be narrowed but you are limited. Look into what the when into the Malitude and bill's GTO.

For what I want to do, I dont think I will have to modify the frame, there is about an 1" and a half to 2" from the inner fenderwell to the frame rail, so I could gain a little there, also the inner fender well towards the out side curls down over the tire and meets with the outer quarter at the fender lip, sooo I was thinking if I made the top of the wheel well meet the quarter higher abouve the tire I could gain about an inch. Right now I have a 275/60 15 in there and there is still about an inch to the back side of the tire, Im thinking I could get a huge tire in there with out messing with the frame. What doi you guys think???

oh ok why didn't you say so LOL just cut the tub out, try to cut a straight line. Cut the excess between the tub and frame. Flush the frame then clean up and tack the section that was removed straight to the frame. Then add a filler section between the two sections of tub....easy.

Malitude and Bill's car are not X frames, but the same basic principle nevertheless. Here are some pics of Bills job. Damn I need to update the site.
