Default Newby with a few Contemporary questions

Yo guys
I am working part time working for a older guy with a bunch of cars, one of them is a Contemporary Cobra

It had been painted a few years ago before he got sick, and was taken apart
here is what it looked like a week or two ago, when I first started working on it



Since then I have it all back together, well he doesn't like roll bars, or bumpers, so it doesn't have them. Got it running and back on the road

here is what it looks like now



Got to drive it around town, and had a blast driving it.
Though since the owner is not as strong as he used to be, the clutch is way to hard for him to be able to drive it, allmost to stiff for me, but I could manage, hehe

I told him I would look into seeing if we could install a hydraulic clutch setup so he can drive it. I have done some research, but since this car has a toploader in it, not a lot of my research paned out. Most of the kits I found were for T-5 transmissions, and for a factory five car.

Since I am not sure how the contemporary pedals/footwell compair with a factory five car, and the fact it is a toploader figured I would ask you all for advice.

Also anything I need to be aware of with the Contemporary cars, and things I should keep a eye out for ?

Oh just incase your curious it has a 347 small block in it, and the exhause comes out the back

Still have a bit more work to do on it, some of the guages are not working, so got to pull the dash and see whats going on with the wireing?? I got a funny fealling when it got painted some grounds may have been messed up, as I allready had to work on all the grounds for the lights and turn signals

thanks Don
PS the car is in Newton ma
