    A little update. Got the seats mounted, the roof skin welded on, the interior all painted to protect the steel until I get it done and ready for interior.

    The brake pedal setup is out of a mail truck that was at the boneyard. I moified it and slimmed it down a little. I put a new master cylinder on it for a 69 Camero.

    Currently I am getting the rearend squared away, next is to get the doors to close nice and its teardown time for some paint.

    Decided on a 60's style rod, so any ideas are appreciated. Im thinkin of adding some nerf bars to it to add to the 60's look.

    I'm diggin the nerf bar tech article that was in tech week. I think somethin like that wouldnt overpower the car, then i could put the lic plate and light on it.
