67/68/69 cuda dilemma
As such the "big cut" to shorten the long side i planned on doing sunday didnt happen. Heres a preview though. Some machinests dye, a lay line. And at 20" long from casting to outer flange on the long tube, i marked it at 10" dead center marked M for middle. I will shorten it at 1&1/2" on one side of the center line and 1&3/8 on the othe side of the center line. Those are marked C.for cut.This gives me 2&7/8" the exact number i need to shorten it making it a match with the passenger side. I figure dead center on the tube is probably the strongest part of it to splice the tube back together. Today i have to run my argon tank back to Praxair to drop it off to be refilled.
