is there anywhere you can buy those pressed sheet metal door panels? they are simple and plain <just the way i like stuff> dave, what would you recomend for a clutch on the 4 speed???

You mean the aluminum panels with the rolled beads? I use a McCleod Soft Lok clutch for drag racing, eases some of the strain on driveline parts... They're a bit expensive, but what isn't???

yes dave exactly! ouch....... i was thinking of a centerforce DFX heck zoom even makes a new one with the 4 pads instead a complete round disc....... is that mcleod the dual disc one?

You can make those panels yourself out of .040 aluminum. Bead rollers are inexpensive,you can get em for around $150 on ebay with 5 sets of dies,or just find your local circle burner and borrow or rent his as most stock car guys have a bead roller.
It does take 2 guys to operate,one to crank,and one to guide the panel.

found a local guy to do it for about 30-40 bucks sweet!

Nope, it is the 6 roller set up... The Centerforce will probably do the same thing for a whole lot less money. I have run the dual disc set up, too. Once you get the adjustment down right, it is a very good and long lasting clutch set up as long as you stay up on the adjustments....

hell id have to take out a 1700 $ loan just to do it!

it's been pumped up to, 2 front door panels , the 2 back seat panels, a package tray and a rear firewall <i havent had one i know i know> for 2 weeks labor. and free metal working lessons! its gonna be nice knowing how to work metal!
