Jack F-Thanks for posting this.

rexrogers- These are just plastic replicas.


I got a little more done. I'm doing the pedals, dash, and steering kind of all at once. They all will get strength and rigidity from one another.
First thing was to get a piece of 3/4"x.120 wall tubing bent to match the inside of the cowl, so I used the firewall as a template. then welded it inside of the cowl. Then used the master cylinder for a template to drill the fire wall. Then made a wooden template of the 3/4" plywood for the curvature of the bottom of the dash and bent a piece of 1"x1/4" flat bar.

Then made a paper template of what the mounting bracket should look like. Transfered that drawing on to a piece of 1/4"x12"x12" steel plate and drilled all the holes. welded that to the tubing and mounted the pedals. Then put the lower dash mount went in, before I welded that in I laid out the holes for the steering drop and drilled and tapped that. bolted the steering drop in and clamped the dash in just to see if it all limed up. Bolted the master cylinder in everything fit, thank God

Next comes a ton of bracing and the Schroeder steering.
