Good guess Sieg but I think I know exactly what it is (I could be worng, but I've been there before on another project). The way the Wilwwod pedals are fabbed in allows for no actuator rod adjustment, so I'll need to figure out a way to space out the throw out just a little bit. Sucks, but needs to be done.

On the fluid, I'm gonna keep running GM synchromesh and see if the break in helps

Ron, it would be way easier to build a new bracket for the brake and clutch sensor than to pull the transmission to shim the throw out.

That was just The Mountain's sword hitting the ground on my HD.

How many miles on it now Ron?

Good for you Ron. Looks great.

Looking forward to hooking up one of these days with the cars and having some fun putting them through the paces.

Interesting Matt. With the dash, gauges and carpet installed I don't see it but you might be right. We'll have to look at it this coming week.

Thanks for everything Friday. What a great day!

Speedo/Odo isn't working Vin, but I'm guessing 80.

Yeah, I think and hope the clutch issue is a simple fix. The first time I looked under the dash and the pedal assembly for the previous clutch issue with jammed up rod, I just unbolted that little bracket that holds the brake light switch.

Hah! Yeah it's nuts! They got your last name wrong! Maybe if you're lucky they charged some guy named Ron Myers Credit card instead of Ron Insocal's credit card!

I even make dealers take off their stickers when I buy something from them. I just can't handle it. LOL. If it was some kind of deal I understand, I guess.


On another note, your car looks absolutely awesome (besides the stickers ) and I'm genuinely happy for you man. I hope you can get some miles on it soon and have fun!

Ron, where did you get the shifter boot? I like it and I've been looking for one like it but can't seem to find one.

If you are happy with someones work you will display a banner proudly.

Little things like that can help a good shop stay a good shop and in business.

But I bind my build books in the color of the car. Just sayin.

No I won't.

If I'm happy with it I WILL tell everyone where it was done. I'm not trying to hide who did it but I won't display it anywhere on my car. It has nothing to do with being proud of someones work and everything to do with the look of the car.

Heck, I've completely de-badged a few of my vehicles and may do the same to my Camaro whenever I have enough money for paint. Some of the badges are going for sure, others I may keep.

Stickers and badges adorn the walls of my shop and my laptop, but are gone from wherever I don't' like them on a vehicle faster than you can say Zai Jian.

Once again, just my anal opinion.
