So, we've been pounding away in the evenings and working the wheel business and doing designs by day without time to update so these are going to be a little out of sequence but highlight some of the different things that are going into this project.
Remember when I said the Keisler kit was COMPLETE? It even came with a brake and clutch pedal that just slid right into the original brake pedal location and even had rubber o.e. style pads which were way too mundane for the interior of this car so they were used for radiator cushions! win-win!
Keisler shifter ball that goes perfect with the Buick's white guts.
And the coolest thing is the balanced driveshaft custom made to my exact specs after installing the motor and trans and calling them with the measurements. Delivered to my door the same week!
Like I said about the o.e. looking rubber pedal covers, they were just too o.e. for a relatively stock interior in a car that probably belonged to a dentist or the like so I'm specifically trying to add some attitude to the abundant style and did so with a set of MODO Innovations pedal covers.
I gave Shannon the dimensions of the Corvette DBW pedal and he picked out a cover that was just right but the pedal has a cool curve to it and the cover is flat so I put it in the press with a round dye and it curled up just right.
Check it out with the killer pedal bracket Jared Hancock of J-Rod and Custom made for me which is now bolted to the firewall.
He also fabbed this slick little bracket for the giant-ass ECM
and the slick little gauge panel Justin at J-Rod and Custom made that I personalized with a grinder to help add some attitude.
