Stop in for a cup of coffee

Of the cars I've owned myself - Chevy Nova with a straight six had the best working room up front. Stupid muffler squeezed across above the axle was the only thing I recall with really poor access. Straight six in a panel truck - now that was nice, but it wasn't mine. :(

The Nova had the upper nuts for the rear shocks welded in and they would rust out and go bad... Then you would have to have new ones welded in.... When I did suspension work in a garage, I had three of them to work on and they all had the rusted nuts... We had to send them to the welding shop to get them repaired before we could install new shocks...
