Well, lowering the seat kind of makes the pedal position even worse.... So, I'm pretty much forced to push it back. I played with the idea of altering the pedals and got a few ideas. But I'm shelving those for a while as it would just take too much time. To really do it right, you almost need to build a whole new pedal box from scratch and position it above the floor pan.
What makes it tough is the interconnection with the e-brake release and the amount of room you have to modify the output travel. I really don't mind the position of the brake as much as the throttle...
But on a side note,:
- I got the disc brakes in
- put an even more aggressive rake on the steering column
- put on the new steering wheel
- Got a rough (very rough) set-up of the seating - the front of the seat is 5" lower and 6" on the back portion: more like a car seat.
Nope, Jakes non-lift brake kit with replacement stock height spindles. It wasn't listed on the site, but I called, and they do offer this setup.
Thanks! Yeah, they can pretty much be turned into anything you can imagine; the resolve to see it through is usually the only issue.
Not much for updates:
- Seats came in
- Dash also arrived and only needed about 1/4" of trimming of the steering column hole to account for the modified angle.
*Good luck on your new toy!
Yep, I'm happy with them. It's a nice, seemingly high-quality pleather they use. They are made to order and take 4-6 weeks.

Hey guys,
I bet you thought I gave up on this project, lol.
No. I have been working on it and it should be ready for its first test ride in a few days.
I had a friend move to our area recently and have been helping him remodel their new (very old) home... Along with my two teenage boys, who are both in sports and band, cutting brush and other land work, I have been busy.
I had to cut out and re-fiberglass a section of the old seat base that had some delamination and am still having a tough time figuring out how I want to brace the front seat backs. I've been trying to re-utilize as much of the old pieces as possible, kind of like a jigsaw puzzle of random cut-up aluminum.
Once I do that and get a few good test drives in to make sure everything is where I want it, I'll start forming the new body.
