    I prefer not to use long Allen in this case. Too much windup on the 8mm hex shaft. Those bolts are torqued to around 40 lbs-ft IIRC, so if you're using a breaker bar at the junkyard, you could break the allen before you remove 12 bolts.

    Hell what am I saying, Careful's in SD, there is no rust. Just go there with a 3/8" finger ratchet and a 8mm allen socket.

      Haven't broken a good quality long allen yet, and I use it with a 3/8 impact.

          Us salt belt guys are insanely jelous of you southern boys rust free cars. To top it off, none of you bastards are willing to ship, so you wait until someone local buys. It sucks, I'm going to have to road trip down there with a dually, trailer and redbull, and hijack as many as i can.

              Early model two door, no rust. Driveline does not matter.

                  Yes. Small tail lights. Want to build a dual purpose weekend toy and track car, without worries of rear tire fitment and emissions (pre-87 permanently exempt in Ontario). Diving boards add to sleeper appeal.

                    just get enough extentions to go outside of the fender. a 17mm and 19mm ratcheting wrench is a MUST.
