Fmans Dart 427 build #9818 - 14" Leather steering wheel

[Fman]

I figured it was a good idea to have some type of extinguisher in this car, with my profession I have seen plenty of cars catch on fire and burn to the ground. At very least better to have a fighting chance of extinguishing a small fire. Hopefully I never have to use it.

I chose to go with this 1lb H3R with a Goldfire quick release bracket, it has a cool looking billet PULL lever on top and seems to be well made. With the breeze cubby storage it was a tight squeeze but I think it will work. The Pull lever does stick up about 1/2" into the storage area but I believe there is still plenty of room to get items in and out of the cubby hole. I also still have room under the extinguisher to access the charging ports.

I picked up the extinguisher from Summit

Like many others I used some black suede dye to do the door straps, it comes with a nice applicator and only takes a couple coats. Definitely want to wear some gloves when applying this stuff, will stain anything it comes in contact with.

After go-karting a few times I have been struggling with the pedal box and having the brake and gas pedal interfering with each other when pressing on them. I have size 13 feet and this pedal box does not like big feet, so I ended up moving the brake and clutch pad out even further. I also adjusted the Russ Thomspon gas pedal. This setup seems to be working better, I will probably also buy some type of driving shoes to narrow up my feet as much as possible.
