Did the Loctite orange fail?

Good move Bob. That is what I would have done. Locktite is a thread locker and not a glue. It does what it says. Good luck.

My roof rail molding (65 Cuda) overhangs the 1/4 window molding by 3/8" measured from 1/4 molding to tip of roof rail molding:

If you get to that point, I would use blue. Red is more or less a permanent install. Very difficult to break the bond after cure. Blue should allow you to adjust later after cure.

Yea thanks. I was lucky. Me, a ditch, and trees. I hope the OP gets it fixed. Best of luck. Mine did not buff out.

So glad you are OK. No matter what you may have done wrong, you did not screw up as bad as I did in my 68 Barracuda.

Just throwing this out here: "Pro shifting and face plating do NOT make your transmission clutchless. The shock load of shifting without the clutch will cause severe damage to your transmission." Face Plate/Pro Shift Gear Modifications – Liberty's Gears

That is just awesome. That place is so classic as well.

Link here might help although it involved my Phoenix front runners. I was also looking for tubes but ended up not. Inner Tubing a Front Runner Tire

What is a paddle rocker?

I always shifted my Liberty lugged A833 Hemi 4 speed using the clutch. I figure that is why I was always so slow. :)

Your closest valve to piston clearance on intake will be close to 8 degrees ATDC on your degree wheel, exhaust 8 degrees BTDC. As stated in this thread, it does not occur when the valve is fully open.

A 0.046" increase in lift has the potential to cause VP clearance issues. Yes, duration is key. Clearance needs to be be measured. To state lift has nothing to do with VP clearance is clearly false.

Duration and lift both contribute to valve to piston clearance. To state that lift has nothing to do with VP clearance is false.

That is false.
