Amazing work on restoring those carbs. Love seeing the progress being made!
Looks fantastic.
Just noticed your radio delete. Cool.
So much awesome. Thank you for sharing with us David, I always appreciate your postings. I'd love your dead pedal, maybe I'll try making something like that, during spirited driving it would be really nice to have something to put some weight on.

vintagewrench said:All 1800's were built with a steel sheet metal dead pedal which is about an inch wider than this one and weights several lbs. Before you build one I'd check to see if there is enough room in a 122S for one. The gas pedal is farther back in a 1800 and without the dead pedal in place there is nothing to rest that foot on other than your heel and your foot has nothing to steady that leg to.
I widened the foot box on my 122SW. I did both sides so I'd have extra room for the Vintage Air unit. You can see the skeleton of the 544 in the way the foot boxes dive in at the front. Since they removed the flared out fenders and made the car a bit wider you think they would have opened this area up too. It's pretty easy to do once you've taken off the fenders.
