69 Notch Barracuda - Rebirth
Extension tubes went on today. Good god... big block in an a body. Whatever. Now I really feel like I’ve been hazed. My wrists and knuckles are cut and scoured... my fingers fatigued... never yelled so many four letter words from simple dropped nuts and bolts. Never threaded one, but six different bolts ten different times using about .020” to .030” of fingertips!!
Definitely had to put the torch and hammer to the tubes today (several times) to get down past the gas pedal bump out in the firewall. Also the pinch seem under the gas pedal. The passenger side was a little easier... I might be a little too close to the 1.03” t-bar... about 1/8”. We’ll see, but for now I’m calling it ‘good.’
Also... if you have a magnet pad... they work wonders for anything under the car!
