Passengers side....nowhere near done.....

cut out for steering column.....

Passenger side firewall....

Random pics....

lemme know what you think.....

jimluc · 03-11-2007, 10:47 PM

looking good man. Nice job on the angled fillers as well. I think I'm going to change mine now.

FCKNLOW · 03-11-2007, 11:23 PM

ill give you a tip.....makes sure the angle of the one where the seat bolt is, is the same angle as the one on the floor....itll make the filler that connects the 2 a shitload easier to make.

NCarolinaS10 · 03-12-2007, 12:59 AM

FCKNLOW · 03-12-2007, 01:10 AM

thats for the s10 build as a mockup block.....

FCKNLOW · 03-12-2007, 05:06 PM

im confused to all hell...wtf do i do with the gas pedal?

xmb63 · 03-12-2007, 05:27 PM

Here is how i did mine but im sure you could just weld a flat piece of steel where the pedals suppose to go and drill the 3 holes for the bracket then cut the pedal rod and reweld it shorter.

FCKNLOW · 03-13-2007, 12:24 AM

oops....i cut wrong....now i just gotta figue out how to fix it.....

jimluc · 03-13-2007, 12:33 AM

If you want to leave the seam and not cut it out you could do something like what I did

edit heres a better pic

FCKNLOW · 03-13-2007, 12:49 AM

does the pedal or throttle need modified then?

I cut and shortened mine in 2 places . You'll probably have to shorten yours a little bit.

In this pic you can see that I cut it and shortended it right above the mounting point and also right below it.

The throttle cable comes through the firewall in the stock location in this pic

FCKNLOW · 03-13-2007, 04:01 PM

awesome...thanks man!

FCKNLOW · 03-13-2007, 04:03 PM

my tank showed up today so this also means the old leaking piece of shit can be taken out and i can start on putting this one in and changing up the underbed setup a bit also....

FCKNLOW · 03-15-2007, 04:28 PM

no updates really....im trying to figure out how to do the steering column and pedals still....how much do i need to section out of the pedals?

FCKNLOW · 03-15-2007, 07:41 PM
