Entry 23 (2nd): 11/7/2024

Playing catch up here: I want to convert over to a hydraulic clutch and manual brakes. Have always wanted a very purpose-built looking engine bay. No power brakes, no heat, no A/C etc. Everything to encourage and amplify the driving experience.

Ended up finding the below clutch / pedal bracket from Wilwood and wrapped up the pedals this week. Glad I got that all done before the cold weather rolls in. I'm not the best fabricator so getting everything to line up and look 'factory' took me longer than I'd like to admit. There are two pictures to try and demonstrate how much work this really was.

Will try to run brake lines before it gets too cold in Western NY.

In the spring it'll be time to start running the wiring harness and getting the dash and new gauges in there. Firewall is basically done - just have to decide where /how to route the harness / fuse box.
