It's a little too long for a license plate but it might become its name. I spend hours in the shop thinking about the next this, that or another before cutting, welding or moving and yet, no matter how much I plan and think there is always an unintended consequence. For the last few nights I have been struggling with the steering and brake setup. The new firewall geometry is different than the Dakota so I have been measuring, fitting, and mocking up new setups. I could go out and buy some of it but that goes against the grain of the project so I usually just plan and modify. Last night I cut and reshaped the brake pedal mounting bracket. I welded it back up and set it in place. Everything was looking good until I reset the brake pedal in the swing mount only to find that I change the mounting angle enough that the master cylinder pushrod won't line up with the pedal!!!! ARRGGHHH!!! Another Unintended Consequence! Oh well, par for the course. Just another challenge to overcome. : )
I am working on the locations of the brake booster, brake pedal, and steering column. I have to fabricate a steering column mount and I had to cut and lengthen the brake pedal. Plugging along.
