the VIN on the pan starts with 367, so that means it's a 67 pan right?
and it matches my title which says '67.


Anyhow, it seems my two choices here are go hydraulic clutch,
or repair/beef up the clutch tube, and beef up the pedal assembly, and 
cable. [and leg]

For repairing the tube,  would it still be resonable to create something
to go over the clutch and accelerator tubes,  and simply weld back 
there.
[ ie, a more complicated washer trick. ] Or would I have get the
tunnel cut open and weld everything inside? Where do people cut to do 
that?
or is it best to  just avoid that all together?
