Thanks Mark, The pedals are tilton # TIL 72-6422A. I had to cut the back of the mount off and also had to separate brake & clutch so I could move them closer together. I purchased my car when Robert offered just body & frame along with glass, fuel tanks, & suspension. I wish I could have purchased the complete kit but I wanted to start on the build rather than save longer for the complete kit. It really hurt to cut the rack & master cyl. mount
out but I like the dual cyl. with the balance bar adjuster witch will be mounted behind the shifter.

After lots of sanding I finally got two coats of primer on last week, just two more to go. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] | |

Installing the G50/50 will require some frame modifications for starter clearance. | |

Shifter is almost finished and seems to shift nice, used 43 series morse cables. Engine should be finished this week, 347 roller, AFR 205 heads, Eagle forged crank, h-beam rods,internally balanced. Next project will be the headers, have lots of Burns ss tube and collectors but unfortunately most of it is to big, going with 1-3/4".

Thanks Hersh, still a long way to go. I need to get my parts list together, is Robert shipping anything in the near future, maybe I could have it sent in the next shipment.

Not too much done here in the last eight weeks - broke my collar bone racing go carts - not successfully, I might add. Gonna try and get some painting done this weekend if this beautiful weather holds. | |
