That was my first car which I inherited from my grandfather - it was a rustbucket and I did a lot of work on it. That was the only other car that I really worked on - so a 42 year gap in my experience! Anyway, the pedal is a link to my history - having said that, if I don’t like the set up it will come out and I will do what you have done. The factory pedal is more similar to the pedal in my C8.

I’m fascinated by the additional aluminum you are adding and am going to take a closer look at your thread today. Thanks for sharing!
Ahh, that makes sense. I was worried about my foot slipping off of it, so decided to make the switch. No going back now. I managed to close off everything from the transmission tunnel back, including the wheel wells. Some of it is not posted yet, as it has only been rough fit and is still in progress. Once I get the frame powder coated, I will finish the panels out and post some more pics. I was thinking about using the Dynacore between the inside and outside skins, but plan on getting a Flir IR camera for my phone, to determine where I need to eliminate the heat transfer. I have basically built the entire car to get everything fit, then will pull it all apart to paint, and then reassemble. Let me know if I can answer any questions about the sheetmetal work.
