    Not a large scale build, Just a wee bit of linkage for the carb.
    Never liked the look of cable type linkage,They have their place and they
    work good.
    Since the body is channeled 4" in front I needed to drop the linkage 2" to
    meet the pedal inside,So I took some 1/4" brass rod and 1/2" aluminum and
    made a "drop" which seemed to need some holes to look right, treaded the
    parts and screwed them togeather after a bit of buffer time.
    First pic is after build,next is mocked up on motor.Still need fittings for fuel line
    thats why the tape.

    looks a little too ????? plain bent brass rod might look better but cant tell the look you are going for. it may need some jamb nuts next to drop block unless you green locktite them in place to keep it from coming loose.

    Jam nuts are on my bench, I first made a stainless rod that was bent,But
    didn't care for it too much.
    I've been building lots of parts for the 27 roadster just to be different from
    other ones. theres only so many ways to build the basic car and little
    stuff is the only way to be different.
