    i have been trying to get the pedals and steering column set like they need to be but its taking me longer than i thought. as far as billet proof 2010 i hope to be able to drive it there.maybe not finished but drivable. thats the plan anyway

    I like the tummy tuck you did to the firewall alot better than the reversed or aftermarket ones. Looks natural.
     
  11. Neat how you cut and split the door gaps to make the bidy lines clean. Great work.

    there's not much room with a hemi and trying to fit a clutch pedal in with the steering column it took more than i thought. but i got the pedals done after a lot of cutting and welding and test fitting. i also made a coupler for the bottom of the steering column were it goes threw the fire wall.

    Great fabrication skills! Do you have an idea when you think this coupe will be on the road??? Keep up with the pics I love this build thread
     
  14. Cool build, love it!!!

    Did you find out something about the master cylinder question so far??
    Would be interesting for me too, since I am also running 4 drums on my truck.

    Keep up the good work!

    i have not been able to get any thing done the last couple of weeks hopefully this weekend ill get some work done.
    i used the pedals from chassis engineering they made the cross member.but if i had it to do over again i would have went with a automatic. lots of work trying to figure out the geometry on the clutch pedal with the frame pinched.

    hey bite your tongue on the automatic, i went thru this pretty fast. but with your engineering i see you can make it all good w/ the 5spd!

    well ive been working on the floor. i beefed it up so i could mount plenty of stuff to it with out having to worry about it pulling threw or me falling threw. [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] i didn't have any sheet metal to start on skinning it so i filled in some rust holes in the top [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]
