Go-Pedal Fab..Macht es Schnell! UPDATE - Pt. 2.
As the title says, I got bored today, and decided I wanted to make a gas pedal for the ol' girl.
So, since I have a 4x2 sheet of aluminum diamond plate... started with a good pattern. ![]() trace, and compare to stock gas pedal, after shrinking to make it about the same size. ![]() rough out with angle grinder and cut off wheel, then slap it in the vice, and take it down to the lines with a big ferrier's file. ![]() some decorating... ![]() ![]() and in the truck. ![]() Is it out of place? Sure. Is it kind of lame? You bet. But. It beats paying 20 bucks for a footprint gas pedal, which my parents were going to buy me as a surprise present. I would've been down with that, but, there's better things to spend a 20 on. And, if I don't like and get tired of it, it makes a nice wall hanging. or...something. But, thats where it sits right now. Time invested: 1.5 hours. Total cost: nadda. Lemme know whatcha think. ![]() -Sam.
