    Found some more pics. Just finished painting chassis etc and its all going back together. (Chassis was designed and built by myself) Lots of learning in the process!

    Pedals cut from 8mm steel plate (with cut off disc took freakin forever!)
    Converted cluch to hydraulic , and made probably the ugliest bracket you ever seen to mount the slave cyl, but it works...

    I noticed you have a quadrajet intake on that Cleveland motor... First time I seen that.. I knew Ford used quadrajet carbs on some 460's But I never seen one for a Cleveland engine..

    Yeah, came with the motor, just using a squarebore with adaptor at the moment, but a Q jet would go great on it. It is an Aussie motor, maybe that is why, I'm no expert tho:p
