    Finally got some quality time with the coupe last week and weekend. Got the pedal setup done and most of the floor tacked together.
    The gas pedal is a bit to tall yet and i might have to bend the clutch pedal a bit more to the side depending on what i am going to put on them. But otherwise i think it turned out all right.

    The floor is mostly in there now. All i got to do is a bit more welding.

    Behind the seat i was thinking about having the battery on one side and all the electrical on the other.

    Copped the grill shell 4" and mounted the radiater. The shell was wasn´t that hard to chop as i thought it would be.
    Not sure about the air cleaner in the pic but if a three carb setup dosn´t fall out of the sky i will have to run it.

    Its going to be alot of work to get it on the road before summer but i am pretty sure i will make it.
    The frame is all done, just got to paint it and alot of parts are away at the painter/chromer.

    Looking good!!!! Leave the roof stock. Be different that way (seems like almost everyone is channel/chopped), and a whole lot more usefull. Have had two chopped A's, cool to look at, trips are a pain.

    What transmission are you using. The shifter is offset to the left quite a bit. Nice work.....

    Det ser finfint ut! Gillar pedalstället!

    Do not chop it! Let it be! I hope this one will show up in Wheels or Gazoline magazine this summer.
