Day 5

Here is most of the pedal assembly:
I then did a trial fit of the pedals, drilled the holes and fixed it to the chassis. After that, installed the master cylinders for the brakes. Then we mounted the brake fluid reservoir to the driver-side footbox and fed the line to the cylinders:
And from another angle:
We also adjusted the gas pedal so it will clear the footbox aluminum by removing the spring and bending the arm in a vice. It's obvious at this stage that most of the materials need a little work to fit, even if for minor differences in chassis and paint.
After this shot was taken, I secured the brake line top the top of the pedal assembly:
Dad started sorting out the electrical for the front end, so we did a test fit for the fuse box and called it another day. Still waiting on the lower part of the steering shaft, but plenty of other things to take care of until then, no worries.
