Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Tweet

Yep, I've already got dual springs on the one I just installed, but am thinking of adding a third coming off the front . The reason is because I like a stiff throttle pedal in a car that rides rough, like a hot rod. If the pedal is too easy to push down, as the car bounces around so does your foot, and it tends to keep pushing the throttle up and down.

My alternator mount came from Summit yesterday, and it is going to work out fine. I painted it last night (some of it was raw steel) and sandblasted the billit portion to make it look non-billit. Now I can get the alternator installed today. I'm also going to clean out the entryway to the shop so that Dan and I can push our cars outside tomorrow to get a better perspective of how they sit and look.

Dan decided last night he doesn't like the way his bed looks, and is going to lower it an inch. Looks fine to me, but there is something about it that bugs him. Plus now he has decided to repaint everything on the car a different color combination, so it looks like we will be blowing it all apart while the body is in the paint shop. And only about 4 months left until Daytona. It must be hell being a perfectionist.
