65 Barracuda w/500ci RB, Stage VI Max Wedge Port Heads, 6-speed, and 5.38 Dana

The distance between the cut pieces is 1 13/16", so I cut a piece that wide, long enough to go around the middle of the circumference of the cut pieces. I bent it in my vice to match the contour of the cut pieces so it can be welded into the middle between the two pieces.

The tack welds look ugly, but enough to hold it together for removal, so I can weld it outside of the car.
