Thread: One Way To Build A '32 Hyboy

J. Robinson-Thank you. It's really a machined piece of solid bar inside the tubing that is slotted and notched. If you look at the photo's below you can see little holes drilled in the ends. This will have a roll pin in it that indexes all the slots inside. I put Teflon sleeves inside the tubing so that it works smoothly. Then there are 2 springs inside that the solid bar rest against. One in the front and one in the rear. So when you push on the lever inside the car it releases the side panels and when you pull it it releases the hood mechanism.
If you look at the drawing again you will see a offset in the tubing. This is for a stock fire wall (for my sedan) to mount in the right location.
Again with a LS7 and my firewall being the dry sump tank I can't put any holes in my firewall to mount anything. That's why I'm using a fly by wire throttle. But if you go back to some of my photo's you can see heads of bolts and all kinds of things mounted to it, that's possible because there is actually 3 firewalls in this thing. If I haven't explained this well just ask again.

Don-I thought you were mad at me I read almost every post on this site when I have time, and amazed at what everyone is doing I just don't post enough. Thanks. for your response. I wanted to ask you, on your sons car did you put a front track locating bar on it? I could go back and look at the build but I'm to lazy?

Dave-Thanks, the problem with the things I come up with would be so expensive to produce nobody would pay for it. I make $4.50 an hour so it doesn't matter how long it takes me
