Very intersting stuff, so the pedals and hangers are from a '65 Impala, is that reproduced or salvage yard material? Is the black plate in the first picture just the cosmetic floor boot or is it structural to the pedal assembly? The stock F-body master cylinder is a push style, no big surprise there, if that helps you out. Are you using a hydralic throwout bearing or a slave cylinder? the honest truth is I've seen an ad for a 61 bubbletop and about the only thing I don't like about Buick's prior to '64 is the transmissions so I'd love to get OD without the fuss of an automatic with adapaters and such. Hense T56+ EELCO bellhousing+ pedal assembly and shifter = fun cruiser.
I thought I would use the EELCO too. Bought it and just did not think it was up too it. I just won a 65 bellhousing on ebay to replace the eelco. There's plenty of cruising between Cinti and Dayton- I think theres one up in Middletown we ought to get together on that. Ted
Ted, you will be watching my taillights all the way there :laugh: Here's some pictures of my "progress" so far. This is the car with the mock-up motor for header and motor mount fabrication. Peace WildBill
The Gauntlet has been Laid at Ted's feet........We need someone with a Video Camera to Catch this on Film and document it so there is no questions or debates afterwards! :laugh: :laugh: I am not going to pick a side cause they are both Wildcats! Don
We are into co-operation, not intimidation, but yeah, its time to get some NEW picures, I'm scrounging the old archives to find something to put up since I have not worked on this thang for longer than I want to admit! But there is some great diversity in the projects: 65 vs 66 manual vs auto black vs white ou: (I'm building a black car w/o a/c :spank: ) Nailhead vs 455 Dual Quad vs Q-jet Shorties vs Super Scavengers Ohio vs Indiana :shock: Similarities abound!
