"Alien Blood!" rotflmao..

It looks oh so good tho'.. congrats.

The last few day I got a few more things finished up on the 53. I got my new Lokar throttle cable and it is day and night difference from the cheap knock off I had before. This things pulls easier in a figure 8 than the other did in a straight line. I also found the perfect gas pedal, it's from a Nissan Xterra . I did some mods and changes to it and it works perfect.

Also got my new Grant steering wheel in , it wasn't the cheapest one they sold but it's nice. I didn't go with the cheaper foam grip wheel cause I don't think it would have blended well the the rest of the interior. My wife was looking at 40 dollar wheels from Ebay and I said it ain't happening, not after the cheap Ebay gas pedal and cable experience. I also got the door sill plates in and step plates on. Later we started cutting the wood for the box. We used a dado blade for the 3/4 inch groove and it worked great.
