The new pedals are in...there is more room for my feet than before...
I am not liking the location of the light switch.. thinking about moving it somewhere else

That looks much better for pedal spacing he's doing a really nice job.

I saw on the Jay Leno youtube the Ring Brothers had put the switches for HVAC etc in the center console on the 65 Mustang Fastback they built it looked
really cool and handy to have it right there. Might think about moving that and other switches to the console leave that dash clean.

I am sure what ever you decide will be nice looking.

Best
Regards

Rick

Is it the location you don't like or just the look of the switch. Perhaps a different switch out of something newer or all together different like fancy rockers.

Thanks Rick... the pedals will get some use to but I think for what I will be doing with the car they will work great....
Zeke, both placement and the switch....if I was still using the old dash board it would work great but since the redesign it doesn't look right...

That is a write up to be proud of! However, how the H :censored: l do they consider that exterior "Unassuming"? I would be afraid to ask them what they consider "WILD" Byron your car isn't in the same time zone as Sleeper (or any other such description) by any stretch of the imagination! Glad you are getting some recognition for your BABY, well deserved and Thank You for bringing the spot light to the H-Body world in a Class way! Harry :th:
