    I first bought a GM drive by wire gas pedal, but I returned it because it was big and bulky, and was going to be a pain to mount.

    The only other option is a Holley unit, which is much more streamline and I found very easy to mount.

    The pedal is ugly, though, so I got Breeze's gas pedal that matches the Wilwood pedals, did a little modification and got it to fit very well.







    I made a dead pedal out of .20 inch aluminum plate to match the Wilwood pedals





    So here it what it all looks like:




    The pedal spacing seems just fine. I have size 12 shoes, but I don't think my narrow driving shoes will have a problem catching the wrong pedals.










    Last update is I got the radiator mocked up with the Breeze fan shroud







    I did need to make some 0.20 inch spacers for the mounts. I'll also need to get a bit longer button head bolts to accommodate the spacers.








    I'll probably work on mocking up the AC now and get the condenser mounted
