    Trying to remember a '46 Charly, I think you will need some fairly long pedals???? Check out some pick up hanging pedal units next time you are yardin'. Measure your car first to get an idea on the pedal length that would work best.

    On my 37 Dodge PU I found a hanging assembly that fit under the dash well from a mid 70s Dodge truck.

    Like Dave said I needed a longer peddle. I just cut the arm out of a piece of 1/2" plate I had laying around. I probably could have used 3/8", but I have a tendency to overbuild.
