strugllin with linkage

Lookes like I'm ready to take it out for a spin. I bolt the driveshaft in tomorrow...The onlything is that the reverse rod is a custom jobbie aout of a truck, or B_E body type car and it handgs in the way of my exhuast...2 options the way I see it, cut bend fit and weld or does any one know one that is close enough to modify, or happen to have one even.
