Everything looks real nice!! If I had it t do over again I would have installed the same pedal assembly in my Coupe. Just an idea but have you considered a mid shift kit for your Tremac. I ordered my Tremac TKO 600 from him with this installed as the reverse shifter semed awkward to me. You push up and down to change gears rather then the standard front /back pattern. If you want the classic look this is the way to go but IMHO you might find the mid shift easier to drive.
Best of luck;

Have you checked your clearence between the brake pedal and the steering shaft? I fuged my mount over to the right a bit to clear and may still have to thin the pedal arm slightly.

PS. Is that textured paint or powder coat on your Al panels?

Mike,

i did check the steering shaft but thanks for looking out, the panels are powder coated with silver vain.

I'm looking at the mid-shifter also with a TKO.
Not interested in classic, interested in function and my way...
Looks great.

thanks Glen,

i'm with you on the biuld style looking for more of a modern interpretation of the car the mid shift is a must for funtion as well as form the bent over shifter just looks wrong to me and as mentioned above its like shifting up and down i don't like that.

It's alive !!! Pics to come soon we have started work on this project again. Currently it's a go cart. The engine made a little over 400 hrs and about 450ftlb of torque runs great starts on the first crank very sweet

I really really love that Wilwood setup. But the thought of having the panels riveted in and the body on, and then having to work on it for some reason really bothers me.

Awesome stuff.

Hi,
I just looked at these pictures above. I saw the bellhousing and thought "this is an older build". Then I saw the date, 12 /14/ 2007!!! WOW...
