Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
if you look to the right of the welded in piece you can see how far it come in compared to where the stock floor was , just a little over an inch

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
I agree. One thing that is great about metal is you can weld it remove it add it take it away until you get what you want. Then you a nice skim coat of body filler and you are finished.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Your doing a great job on everything!!! I was wondering what are your plans for steering column and shifter? Just wanted to let you know about my experence- I was planning on mounting my brake booster like yours, right against the firewall. I have a aftermarket chrome steering column and column shifter. What happened on mine was right where the shifter rod hooks to the column- it would hit the bottom of the booster if tried to put it in park. The steering column has a adjustment that allows you to turn it down but then it mess's up the articulation (spelling?) so the trans wont shift down into low gear... If that makes any sense....
I had to end up using a shorter booster bracket of a Fiero to get it off the firewall just enough so the shifter would work. Just thought I would share you my experience incase you run into problems when ever you get to that point.... Keep up the great work!!!! |

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
i wonder if theres room to either pull the whole columb intoo the cab or down a little more to have the linkage clear the booster
if you have enough room between pedal and booster another option might be to mount the booster behind the firewall and the master cylinder in front wedging the firewall between them another thing that might work is operate the booster mc setup remotely with a hydraulic clutch setup , then you can mount the lot somewhere else instead of against the firewall and only have a single cylinder and one hydraulic line against the firewall . i dont know wat the law saying about it since if the clutch cylinder fails youre without brakes alltogether , a master cylinder has two seperate circuits

i got a job again and having fun at it too idea's for the trucks and the order of things to do are taking shape and get closer to being realized , a few more months and i be able to start building for real i complete 2 of the trucks intoo running fashion one custom and one basicly stock the thirth will be sacrificed for parts Last edited by watahyahknow; 12-08-2010 at 04:00 AM. |
