Sorry Josh... had to toss my "opinion" in there...

Clayton Machine makes some "fancy" pedals -- but I'm thinking yours is more of an issue of placement etc rather than the looks?

:rofl:

I have a cable throttle though... Also.. it seems that pedal is pretty small and it will still be behind the brake pedal a bit. (lower i mean).
I huess what im looking for isn't out yet. I'll try and fab something up i guess. What gas pedal does "Penny" use... or maybe the RS Chevelle??

I can make gas pad to match what ever lever you are running on the car! All these pedal were set up for the driver of the car.. positions can be changed to suit you your best position for your feet!

They do look nice, thats for sure. PM me a price... or a guestimated one if the pricing isn't done yet.

All I can say about the pedals, is that it might be like 2 to 3 months till they have production pcs...Pricing on pedals is :question: .. But if you buy the pedal assembly 340-3950 with cast pedals in it.. It will allow you to set up your pedals & base to move the build forward & when the billet pedals are available you just order them & change them out :unibrow:

The collets for the steering column are made by machine shop... I had an extra set lying around here but Steve R got it for the TRACK RAT.. I have a list of stuff that I have right now that I am working out the pricing.. check out the cover that we made for the firewall that ties in to lower collet & master cylinders with reservoirs from CV!

Have to agree, when I saw that car at SEMA last year it was the first thing I noticed since I have those pedals in my racecar. Just wait 'til they have to swap a master cylinder out and the fluid is dripping all over that nice carpeting. The car, otherwise, is freakin' sweet but that is just a last-minute, slap-it-in-there looking setup and they should have boxed the floor in so the masters were accessible from outside.

Back on topic with that set, I can say that they are well designed for heel-toe work - note the spacing between the gas and brake v. brake and clutch, quite nice for blipping throttle for downshifts going into the corners, etc. Here is mine, note they are gold anodize as they were one of the first sets they sold, they are black now as a standard. You have a lot of fab in your car so fabbing the floor a bit to work with these and move the masters exterior would not be unreasonable. They are technically floor mounted but using the master mount location thru a boxed section would add extra rigidity as well.

Don't have the best shots of them here at my work computer but one that shows the wheel really closely you can see how well spaced the brake and gas pedal are - you may note it is better to have driving shoes on cuz the typical tennis shoe can be wide enough to clip the edge of the brake pedal when flooring it into straights.

To those who have driven with a floor mounted gas pedal, does it feel okay/normal?

I prefer the floor mount. But i have been driving floor mount forever. Mostly European cars.
