1967 Dodge D100

Finally figured out how to get pics again, you have to crop them.

Just about done getting the pedal assembly in, then comes the fun part of making all the brake lines again.

Wilwood wants over $200 for the firewall mounting plate which is just a piece of aluminum with holes drilled in it. I should have bought it, LOL. Would have saved me a bunch of time, but I came up with this masterpiece. I need to add some more to the top and bottom because I need to cut back some more firewall to make the pedals sit flush with the plate. It looks like I will barely have room to get the nuts on even with it sitting flush.

That’s what I have to do for new iPhone 15. I guess this phone was an improvement…

Might possibly be a setting in your camera app to reduce the picture quality? I don't know why we need gajillion-pixel pics from our phones, other than it being a marketing gimmick. File sizes on those pics are through the roof.

I suggest a brace between that plate and maybe the shock mount or fender. Years ago we were racing at Eagle's Canyon, and Escape Velocity Racing was across from us with their Dodge Dart. They started losing braking power, so they pulled it in. They'd cracked their firewall and with each step on the brake pedal the master cylinder was flexing away from the driver. They had to pull the master cylinder to fix it and lost a few hours of track time, but got it welded back up - with a new brace - and back on track.

The bracket has 4 holes on top, I plan to make something that ties into those holes and the steering column brace. I'm also thinking of putting a stringer bar from one side of the cab to the other where the dash used to be.

Almost looks factory. (NOT, LOL.) I got tired of tried to make it look pretty, it's going to be mostly hidden behind 3 master cylinders anyway. I can't weld at an upward angle to save my life (which isn't surprising since I can barely weld in a perfect position) so the bottom looks like boogers.

I sat in the seat and put both feet into it and the welds didn't break though. It's welded from the back side too. The whole firewall moved a little, which is ok because once I get the bracket tied it in there really shouldn't be much force on it.

Your welding and painting skills rival my own...

The damned paint was coming out liquid and rolled all down the can all over my hand.

The welds I will own. LOL.

Masters hide a lot of ugly. These suckers are a pain in the rear to install. Top nut is almost impossible to get on and I lost one.

Heal toe action, in camo crocs, in an LS powered Dodge D100.
