    Thats what I was thinking too Steve , & I've got about 4ft of extensions w/Ujoints & swivel headed ratchets, I'll even punch a couple access holes thru firewall if it makes it reachable, anything besides having to fuck with the exhaust, you know how that shit usually ends up (can you say drill & tap?.:eek::eek: )


    No I've got another automatic Monte, but that conversion was looking better & better all the time tho'..... my old one was absolutely smoked

    Should I get my alignment tonight or wait for a couple 100 miles after they settle? I am sure I have to adjust the coilovers some after they settle and retorque the u-bolts after some driving. Only cause I want to get new rubbers.
