I broke down and bought a new pedal assembly and throttle cable kit, because after the rod was fixed (the pedal itself basically), I broke the damned arm it attaches to. Technically for a 68-74 Nova or 67-69 Camaro, but it works damn near perfect. I don’t have 100% full throttle, more like 97.5%. Good enough, given the trans shifts at 4k under WOT anyway, and manual drums means going fast really isn’t a priority.

First road test went well. Only one bolt fell off! Found one at my grandfather’s popped it in, drove it around for 5 minutes and it didn’t work loose again.

Bringing a bluetooth speaker with me was genius. 60s Psychedelic rock is great for cruising in it!

It’s got a radio but no speakers. I can’t be bothered to put some in. I’d rather get a radio delete plate but they’re expensive if I remember right. That, or plastic and the rest of the dash is metal.

Great News! Just in time for summer too.

It’s funny how Skynyrd just sounds better while driving a classic.

I didn’t want to cut holes in my car either so I deleted the radio and installed a hidden Bluetooth amp and some 6x9's in boxes.

That car is gorgeous.

Thank you.

Honestly, it’s not about cutting holes. It’s more that this car was clearly set up for racing at some point. Whether it’s street or strip, I’m not sure. But you don’t put 4.56 gears in a car unless you’re aiming to race.

So speakers and stereo stuff= weight

weight bad.

(This despite the fact that I’ll never even race it. But it’s a ‘theme’ I suppose.)
