Hey Mike,
Thanks for the pics. I'll probably blend all you guys methods together to lift this body up. Some great ideas.
Hope you're feeling better!

Randy, that's how I came up with that "rig". Alot of ideas melded together.

Thanks for asking, re; my health. I get asked so often on that topic now, when people say "how do you feel?" I now respond, "With my HANDS!"

We're looking forward to your decision and how you raise that body off!

Well, I hope your "hands" are getting a lot of action then!!!!

Along with how I get the body off will be the decision for what trans I end up with......still muddling thru the options on that one but gotta say I haven't ruled out the T5 yet.....

While I think it would be kewl to "row the manual trans through the gears", it's gonna be a lot of work. With enough cutting and welding you can make anything fit. Just where do you want to draw the line??? Personally, I'd go for the auto over drive and be happy. Maybe after a few years you'll get the bug again and "re-do" the car again. That's what always happens to me! They just never seem to be finished in my mind! I want to always "make it better"!!!

Glad to see you back here and posting. Missed your posts over the last few weeks/months.

Randy a pedal assembly from a 94 to 98 Mustang will take care of your woes on the cable clutch . Very small mounting assembly that takes up hardly any room at all . Here is a pic of said assembly inside the Model A great fit for this small area also .

Hey Bobby, thanks for the pic. Those Mustang pedals might be ok but I'm not willing to poke a hole in my new firewall for a master cylinder. Whatever I do will have to be under the floor or under the dash. What drive train are you going to put in your car?
Good to hear from you.

SBF with a T-5 the shape of the firewall has me thinking on the master cylinder also . I will cut and shape it though to get it to work . They do have the right angle master pedal sets hydraulic clutch which will work too .

With the floor pedals some type of bell crank could be made easy enough if you want to keep the pedals there and use a cable . I am just trying what I hope may be easy application with hanging pedals..
