BIG REDS wanna be Nick Cage Build thread.

500 is a SOLID number. That thing is gonna scoot, Dave! I want to check it out when its got a nice healthy built motor. Oh and the only thing I can think of is save the spray for the trip back, now lets get these cars.

I was hoping to either get the ball bearing pedal conversion done or the transmission in, however I couldn’t find anyone with a welder to help me out, and the transmission inst all the way done so I decided to do some other little work.

vent boxes installed

pedal cluster was also rebuilt, its nice and tight now and no longer has play like before. I also made a spacer to raise the gas pedal up about an inch to allow it to open the TB all the way, its also more even with the rest of the pedals now.
