Bostonian 71 demon
Today turned out pretty productive, even with a late start. I picked up a folding welding table for next to nothing off Marketplace. Managed to knock out 80% of the pedal assembly, just waiting on the Wilwood master cylinders to come in so I can finish it up. After that, I mocked up the pedal box in the car and made an aluminum support plate to fill the spot where the old master cylinders were mounted.
I also started filling in the cowl and planned out the weight reduction for the hinges. On another note, the vintage contingency decals have started arriving in preparation for when the car goes back east for paint and body. Right now, I’m looking for an old, original NHRA decal featuring the front-engine dragster if anyone has one they'd be willing to sell. I’m replacing all the windows since the ones on the car can’t be saved. The new windows will be lettered with “Pro” and include my NHRA driver’s number.
