I went insane today on the driver's side 1/2 bolt that holds on the thermostat housing. It was 15 minutes for something that should have been 1. In between the distributor and the water pump I was starting to lose my mind. The passenger side upper bolt on my h-pipe was a mutha too, getting around the starter and the shorties.

What bolt do you dread?

Got em'. The thermostat housing is too close to the bolt for the larger gead of the ratchet wrench to fit over. I threw that fucker accross the garage after two minutes of not getting at it.

I just switched out my GT rear bumper for a cobra rear bumper. The bolt on the passenger side of the bumper, the one in the bottom corner was a bitch to take out.
