'68 Barracuda Notch

I took the car out for a short drive this evening. My driver side tire is still contacting the front of the fender, but it looks like my clearance on the passenger side is OK. Its the worst when I'm backing out of the driveway and the wheel is turned. Can poor alignment cause the wheel to sit too far forward? Is there any adjustment with the K member?.

Check for worn out strut rod bushing. Yes, alignment can make a difference.

the headlights are two dim bulbs pointed at the ground

Adding relays makes a big difference.

But all that said, I can't help but feel like the coolest guy in the world driving around in this car.

That's because you are! It is a Barracuda Notchback thing, you get used to it after a while.
