I would be concerned that with only one bolt it would rotate over time. Maybe get a thin flat bar with 3 holes that would fit over top and bolt in all 3 holes... two into the engine and the 3rd with just a nut so everything is solid together and will not rotate. But keep up the Good work!
Yeah, I’m totally with you. This is more of a stop gap for now since I’m in “get it started” mode haha. There are a couple of brackets I’ll likely be making once I get it going like for the air filter, coolant overflow cylinder, etc. Thanks for the advice, and for watching!
May I ask how you painted your pedals? I am cleaning all the rust off mine right now and am thinking about getting some rustoleum and just spraying the crap out of them. I like the gold detail on yours though.
Hahah it’s probably far from the answer you’d like to hear, cleaned them off as best I could then rattle-canned them. Had some black on hand and a reaaaally old and semi broken can of gold which gave it a splatter effect. It’s holding up ok so far though! I imagine you could take some paint and dip a brush in and flick it to get a similar effect though!
@@kgranger hahaha excellent!! Sounds like people are catching on that it’s nitty gritty and pretty details will come later, but I gotta say, it works! Hahah
Right now this will be the tootin' around town car, so I'll need headlights, blinkers, a tag light, brake lights, and side mirrors. That's pretty much it, off the top of my head. GA doesn't ask much, just tax money haha. Thanks for watching!
@@summerdelsol I'll be curious to see what you do for headlights / turn signals. I've seen some 7" headlight assemblies that have turn signals built in.
Yeah, it’s a stop gap for now. There’s something that has always been off about my throttle cable with the donor car. I remember when we were tinkering with it in the shop after installing something and it wouldn’t allow full WOT (it was close) so something is a bit wonky. Hopefully sharing this can point me in the right direction!

@@summerdelsol 🤣🤣 I have watched enough of your videos by now that I am not surprised!

Are you thinking of making a street-legal build or a track toy? Curious what extra things you have to do if going the street legal route

I don't know, still looks like an awkward angle to me. Won't that bind when you are trying to use it?
