    If you haven't had to modify a wrench for something on the car, it's not a true hotrod. ;)

    be careful carl it being only mounted with one bolt it could twist on you another bracket on this side with another bolt would make sure it wont twist on you
     
  28. I've got a throttle stop on the pedal so there is no strain on the linkage at full throttle
