Thanks guys! I checked into the e-brake today and found the e-stopp unit through google. It definitely looks like a well put together package. But wow, it does come with a price tag. Something I'll have to consider. Right now, I'm looking at around $100 to retro-fit my OEM pedal and convert it to a "down" cable so it won't exit the firewall. The e-stopp setup is ~$500. So that $400 difference is a good chunk of a driveshaft or exhaust. Fortunately, I can delay that decision a bit. It is a very tempting option.

And started pulling the body back off yesterday. Once I get the body off I'll finalize the driveline setup and get a driveshaft on order (hopefully the last long lead time item). I only live about 20 min from Mark Williams Enterprises so I'll probably buy local for that purchase!
