The Jim Khougaz Roadster

"Question. Jim Khougaz is using a full gas pedal. With a pivot at the bottom of the pedal and somehow links to rod (top of the pedal) which puts the carbs into action. How? I believe this to be a more cl***ier way to go with than the swing or s**** type pedals you see all the time. This has craftmanship, as the rest of this roadster does, and would love to know the details, anyone?"

From what I can see, I think the setup is all standard 1935-48 Ford parts under the hood, probably narrowed a bit to suit and of course chromed. This stuff works just like a '32-4 s**** ***embly except the s**** is replaced by a link ball with a short link to the bottom of a floor pedal.

 

Great story. Thanks for sharing info on car. does anyone know the color of blue?

 

Here is a shot of the front axle and '36 wishbone for slapshot....

Yes, indeed, bring this back so's we know what rodding is all about.

 

Sweet, The quality of work is brilliant

 

One of my very favorite cars, an all-around wonder.

It does take a little getting used to. Leg room is for sure a hit and miss. But neat looking.

" Real Hot Rods don't have fenders "

 

Beautiful car, and I love a lot of things about it. But..... The only thing I don't care for is the front axle being behind the center of the crossmember. Makes the grille shell stick out a bit too far for my taste...

 

I was just a kid when this car was running the lakes and it was an inspiration to many. When people ask about "traditional hot rods" this thread should pop up to the top of the search. The car is impressive, as is the story of how it was built on a budget by guys with regular jobs.

 

Such an awesome car and thread! Worth a read!
