New content: pedal and master cylinders For all you guys interested in an approach to solving how to get good braking without power boost, I just posted some new pics about my pedal fabrication on my website. I'm using late model f-body pedals, a Tilton remote pedal assembly, and some AME delrin bushings. This allows me to use a balance bar dual master setup for the brakes: one for the front, and one for the back. No proportioning valve is used in this setup.
It also includes the clutch pedal and allows me to use a Wilwood or Tilton master with GM hydraulics. The whole thing is adjustable for pedal height, throw, and side to side location.
Check it out by clicking on my sig, then look for the "New! Pedals" on the left.

Thanks.
In my case, I fretted about pedals a lot. Since I made my own floor and firewall, I couldn't use any original pedal. The aftermarket pedal guys (AP, Tilton, Wilwood) were all too short and caused packaging problems with the steering column.
So I'm very happy with this setup. Plus I like the adjustability so I can tweak it for maximum driving comfort.

parsonsj,
Great website! Even better looking content(Your car). I really like what you did with the exhaust system. I'm getting ready to build mine. I'm going to make a custom x-pipe like yours too. My question is..... Have you fired it up yet? I'm really curious what it sounds like with the x-pipe. What mufflers are you using?? Can you post some sound clips???
thanks and great looking project

Thanks! Thanks for all the nice comments. No, I haven't fired it up yet (you really know how to hurt a guy! 
).
My friend Andrew Borodin's GTO (check out Feb's Car Craft) has a similar system, and his car sounds incredible. You can hear it at Pro-Touring.com (http://www.pro-touring.com). Got to the video section and you'll see it there.
