Who makes that gas pedal?

I had to stand on my head to figure out what was going on... =-)

Finally got around to attacking the power window install. Wasn't bad overall but making that first cut is a little nerve wrecking. Also had to make some brackets to move the door latch cable out of the way. My top aluminum "trim" pieces were horrible, very rough and had indented lines from the bending. Started with a 220 DA sander, then wet sand 320 and finished with a wet sand 1000. 222327222326 222328222329

I had an upholstery shop make the beading up to fit between the body work and the fenders. My paint shop guys painted it matching the body. Very 'old school' but looks great on the car. I did this in 2009, and it's held up quite well.

Best wishes,

Looking great! Just wondering, have you put many miles on it yet now that it's titled? If so, how's she ride with the 315's in the rear? Any issues with rubbing the inner fenders? To get the clearance you have in one of your pics, did you change from the stock 8" springs to 10" long ones and by any chance did you change from the 300lb rating to anything different? I'm getting ready to go thru the registration process myself and I want to fix my slight rubbing issue in the rear (also running 315's) but only have about 1" left on the threads of the Koni's for adjustment.

I've got a little over 1,000 miles on it now. It rides like a brick. Yes I still get some rubbing on the outer lip of the fender, not the inner but that's due to my wheel backspace and tire width vs the fender. If I had 7" backspace I don't think i'd rub. I replaced the Koni's with QA1's. I've dropped my compression and rebound adjustments down to 1 & 1 for the softest ride possible on the street, still pretty stiff but better.
