Re: ACC pedal mounting ideas

Once I got it figured out as to where it was comfortable to drive with for several hours at a time . I'd figure out how to mount it solid and then take it out, get the rust cleaned off good and paint it with satin black Rust oleum or Ace rust stop satin black and call it good.

I have no rational Idea on how many gas pedals I have had in my 48 since 1973. I remember that in the 90's I stuck one in that looked great but I took out and pitched in the trash can the day after making a 100 mile each way jaunt to a show. When I got home from that trip I could barely walk when I got out of the truck when I got home because my foot and leg were at an uncomfortable angle. I think the pedal in it now came out of a Mustang II I scrapped out. I bought the car to build and the frame work at the cowl was so rusted there was no fixing it.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
