    Worked on the pedals today. Horse traded a pair of '39 pedals with pal josh. Made a K-member to mount the pedals, had to make a few clearance slots here and there.
    Due to the height difference of the clutch arm and cross shaft arm, I extended the arm... Rather than cut it I made an extension arm that Slides over the original and puts the linkage on a parallel plane.

    The floor pans had no holes but we're super thin..? So I removed them and will replace them with new ones or wood.

    Who's your sponsor, Monster Energy Drinks?? Holy crap!! Car looks great- can't wait to see the roof come down. When I re-do my roadster, I might ask you guys for some help- probably get it done n 15 or 20 minutes! ( Nyuk-Nyuk) Keep up the good work; she's pissah!

    Thanks Mike.... Self employment has its benefits!

    I'm planning another "stay in the shop until 5 punch list items are done" session very soon.

    There will be beer and food if anybody's interested....

    New England winter has passed - no more midnight calls "I'm cold - no heat - come quick"

    Looking good, Pete.

    Shamus...

    True true true...... No more cries for heat..... But now it's cries for A/C..... It's a vicious cycle that will never end... Hopefully not because I'll be out of the job.
