mr bruce- good eye.

As small as the foot boxes are, that would be a problem. Gotta fix that Patrick !!!

Bruce, good catch but, the curve starts to the left of the brake pedal, and I really didn't want to see the foot well hanging down from under the car. My size 12 feet will fall to the side up against a dead pedal thingy. I like the curve but, yes I wish there was more room. I pretty much have to heal-toe it anyway. See thats what I'm looking for questions and input.

Patrick, your lookin real good, can't wait till mine is that far along. One question tho why not steel under the feet to keep out unwanted rocks and other foreign objects found on roads? Carl

Some solid under the feet sound good but don't run over branches blown down by the wind. Had a van in the local area run over a branch, followed the wheel round and puched a hole through the floor and the base of the passengers seat (vacant) ouch.

Have read the whole thread and made some notes for my up and coming build. a great effort.

Default More aluminum beat to death

Well I've gotten a few of the panels for the firewall pounded out (literally) so here are the obligatory pictures. I have all the pieces cut out for the rest but I'm fitting them up and trimming to fit as I go. When I get them all fitted I will go back and do the final trimming and cleanup. Then I will coat them with some sort of textured coating and get them riveted in place.




Oh, by the way here is proof that I must hate myself, the top of the foot box is made from one piece of metal Aluminum origami.

Well, it occurs to me that perhaps not all of the modifications I made are technically 'street legal'

Nothing good ever happened after this statement;
Hey Moe watch this!
