You're not the only one. The 1 pic of Andy cutting circles in the field has been passed around on instagram more than some people that are actually ON instagram. Cob and I have tried whenever someone posts it to send them here to @bucket for more info.

Well today I lengthened the slave pushrod about 3/8 of an inch. It didn't change anything.

I noticed when I had the slave removed, the throwout fork really didn't have much room for additional travel before it would contact the bellhousing. Also, when installing the clutch slave, the pushrod doesn't actually make contact with the fork until after the mounting studs are started into the bellhousing. It's been a long time, but I don't think that's right. From what I remember, the pushrod should contact the fork LONG before you have to get the mounting studs into the bellhousing.

I ordered a clutch kit today from Napa, but forgot to go pick it up this afternoon. I'll get it tomorrow... not like I was going to get it installed tonight anyway, lol.
