Nice job on the dash panel!, did you do it yourself?
Honey, If I say I`ll fix something I will, there`s no need to remind me every 6 months!!

Wanted billet door sill plates. Too pricey for me at this point, so I went down to the local fabrication shop with some poster board templates and they made me a set for $50 total. Also I was concerned about slippery door steps and scratched up paint in the step area. A little grip tape solved this dilemna.

Yep. There was a hacked radio hole in the dash when I got it. The PO had made a wooden block spacer because modern stereos are too deep. Welded up the hole for a nice smooth look and put it all in the console. Shifter is a modified late model mustang unit for AOD and an early mustang bezel. Cup holders are poker table stainless cup/chip holders. Vents are billet specialty for future A/C installation, and the stereo is a $100 Sony. I almost forgot a 12v socket for cell phone chargers etc. Added it last.

Ok, been awhile.
Engine compartment is nearly done. Having some pulley alignment problems, but nothing major. Yellow seems to be a theme here.
I fabbed my own throttle linkage using a modified original pedal The linkage rod has RH threads on one end and LH threads on the other. That wat I can turn the hex section with a wrench and lengthen or shorten the linkage as needed.

I moved the booster/master cylinder over to the clutch side to give me lots of room if I ever go big block.
To make sure the brake pedal was close enough to the gas pedal, I modified and lengthened the brake pedal arm and made a wide footprint pedal with a late model pedal cover on it. The perspective of this photo, makes the brake pedal look real low, but it's not. It's about an inch lower than original. I had to ad the inch to make sure the foot wouldn't hit the column.

Re: Sully's 1964 Project
Nice work! When do you plan on having her on the road again? Yellow is one of my favorite colors, keep the theme going!
