    It looks much better than I had mocked up originally, seems to work great and the box does not move at all when in use.......Littleman

    That's wicked, as the whole car. I've never before seen "inside-steering", never ever even came in my mind!

    Looks great, doesn't protrude from the cowl as much as I thought it would. Workmanship is awesome as usual!

    LOVE the final version! Version 1.0 kinda ****ed, and you knew it enough to revise. The lines are all kept intact so you freaking succeeded.

    Keep up the kick *** work and us Jones'in for more.

    That looks fantastic, and the geometry is right too,now.Nice problem solving...but heres another problem solving challenge...how the hell do you replace the two back spark plugs????dont hemis have long cap things to reach down to the plugs?surely there aint enough room under the cowl to pull them out!???? :confused: :eek:

    The cowl was welded in from its drag racing days from way back when, I plan on cutting it to make it removeble, then you can get to everything with no problem......................Littleman

    it looks like a nine, but i think the camera's flash was just right and blocked part of the 8 making it look like a 9.


    i said if you're making a ch***is that is that damn awesome measuring inches in ninths, i was gonna start measuring everything in ninths too! :D

  18. Looks great Dave, thanks for letting us in on your thought process, this is much cooler than your first version.

    yeah only the ******** measure in 9ths.
    Sometimes i like to use 11ths and 13ths too for greater accuracy.

    I bought a cheap piece of **** Chinese benchtop drill press a few years ago that had the depth scale divided up into ninths of an inch...really, I couldn't believe it, I recounted many times and sure enough...ninths.

    Looks good. Is the pedal just setting there or is it installed ? It looks like it's only 3" forward of the steering wheel mounting collar ? Maybe it's an optical illusion ?

    It is mounted, its a little more back than 3", but since I wear the largest kids shoe I have the clearance....When sitting in the seat, and mash the brake their is no interference..........otherwise I would have to rethink it, but its good to go..........Littleman
