Got out and did some work on the Torino today. I pulled the Fuel cell, steering column and all the factory AC/heater ducting from under the dash and mocked up my Kirkey seat for some test fitting. I also checked out the fit of the modern driveline clutch linkage and hydraulic master to see if it wil work as advertised with my pedals.

The Clutch linkage looks like a go as does the seat. I have around 5.5" of headroom without a helmet to the headliner so with helmet I should fit and be below the top of the cage tubing.

The lowered seating position has me thinking of reworking my pedals to give a more horizontal action to them. For now I'll just move forward with getting the seat mounted and the steering column in and then make a decision on that. It actually has me considering a footwell pedal assembly.

I snapped some crappy pictures to keep GW happy.
