DC_1 thank you for the great pictures! I'm sure I can figure out what I need to know by them as I'm just trying to find out what holes will not be necessary.
Thank you!

Disassembled the brake pedal assembly and added the clutch pedal. Next I will fit the assembly to the Hydroboost and hydraulic clutch.
Thanks

This is where it was installed on the pedal assembly as I found it.
Thank You!

Wow! thanks for posting, that's why this site rocks!

I'm not sure I'm going to be using that spring or those parts attached to the brake pedal is my aftermarket master cylinder and hydroboost not required/need them. Let me know if you think you need the spring/parts and if I don't need any of them I'll be glad to send them to.

I test fitted the pedal assembly and had to weld over the original brake booster hole and cut a new hole in the firewall reinforcement mount. Also test fit the hydroboost and clutch master cylinder. I need to make the hydro boost and brake lines next.
Thanks

I hope this doesn't turn out too nice to drive.

That will be one helluva run all the way to San Francisco from Maryland. Lots of thumbs along the way. If you drive through Vegas on your way to SF, I want a looksie

Great job!

Let me know when you drive her to SF, ill meet you with my 69.

Did you test fit your brake light switch? I had to alter mine when i added the hydraulic clutch.

Yes I noted that it's a little close to the clutch rod. It looks like I need to modify the little L bracket that holds the switch to actually make contact with the brake pedal not the master cylinder pushrod. I love to see a picture of what you did to your switch? I'm also considering using the switch that's attached to the Willwood porportioning valve??
Thank you!

Mounted the clutch reservoir and used ¼ S/S tubing for the line.

Looking sweet!

Why still use the original booster backing plate?

I think the firewall needs the support of the original backing plate, too much movement without it.
Thank you!

Agreed.   Funny, I didnt think it was the original plate, thought you may have fabbed one out of aluminum given how all the work so far looks like it was born there

I bent the Hydroboost and power steering lines to fit in the left side inter fender well. I used 3/8" stainless steel  .035 wall tubing. All this test fitting, wiring, and line bending just to pull it all out before the bodywork starts is a lot of work!! I'm sure I will enjoy having all this work behind me after the car is painted. Wait that sound like I'm looking forward to the bodywork ;-(
Thanks

Well look at it this way, you wont need to make alot of mods to a painted car with the risk of scuffing the paint. And when the car is painted you'll be driving in no time.

BTW I like your hydraulic clutch setup. Still thinking of adding that to my factory trans. What brand are those parts? Really like the reservoir...


Oh almost forgot : outstanding job you are doing, I take my hat of for you sir!

The hydraulic clutch is a Wilwood unit and I bought the Mopar kit from Silver Sport transmissions.
And I got the reservoir on line, I think it is an after market unit for a late model Camaro.
Thank you!

Went to Carlisle today and pickup my original front and back seats that I had dropped off with Legendary this past spring. They recover the front & back seat and I went with their Rallye front seat upgrade. I'm very happy with the look, shape, and fit!
Thanks

Those look great!  So they use the orignal seat frames?  It's the foam and covers that are different?  Does it use the stock seat backs?

Yes they used the original frame with custom cushions and covers on the seat and back! No more sliding from door to console ;-)
