[V8] handbrake cable

[Ron Wainwright]

You'r in Ma$$....hummmm we must know eachother ;-)
 But yes...same R&R type procedure as anyother type$$.
 I just did mine on my Black 5spd & while I had the
entire interior out I did some of the work from inside
the car. But most of the fun is wedged up under there
were the driveshaft, exhaust is.
 Depending on what stuff looks like under there....I'd
say a few hrs to R&R the cables.
