...to get out of bed!

After finshing up a header install (MAC lt's), I realized the steering shaft where the rubber grommet is, is rubbing hard on one of the header pipes. Now i've got to remove everything all over again so i can pull the dang lt out and hammer a dent into one of the pipes. I had to run the steering shaft right through the middle of the headers because there was no room to go around.

To top it all off I gotta remove 8 "stage 8" header bolts and c-clips. What a pain this is! I suggest anyone installing MAC LT's on 04 mustangs to do their research so you don't have to go through what i'm going through.
