Got the Corbeau brackets finished and seats fully mounted.

Now I can install the Wilwood pedal box. Need to figure out the mounting depth, but I have a rough idea where I want them.

Nothing spectacular to report, as I spent all day doing an oil pump on an 04 5.3 Silverado.

But I did start building the pedal brackets.

Fully welded, just need to add a vertical support to the left side. A tall person will never be able to drive this car lol.

These cars are gorgeous, like early post-war American cars in 3/4 scale. Great project!

Decided to throw some paint on the Ls6 intake tonight. Used Duplicolor Engine enamel. Need to mask tomorrow and clean up some of the lines.

Spent all day filming at our shop for a new show on Discovery airing next March. It was truly an awesome experience, and we got some really good footage!

Got some great shots of my '62 Belair as well.

Only thing cooler than a 122 is a 445. j/k

I love those too, and as I'm sure you know by now, you can get anything for those cars from Sweden. I got all new weatherstripping for my 1958 Duett from there. They even make patch panels for them.

NICE! When you get it running let me know. I'd love to come up and see it. I blow through Austin all the time for parts and trips to Dallas.
