Finally getting started

[hunter1]

Mocked up Hydroboost. Moved it over 11" from stock MC location. Sits over driver's side fender now. Made a cad drawing of 1/4" plate to support it all on the firewall and had it burnt out on a burn table. Modified the pedal assembly with longer shaft and pinned the brake pedal boss to the shaft with a hardened pin. clutch pedal floats on the shaft, so still able to use clutch pedal and rod. Still need to add bronze bushing in the support at the end of the shaft, lengthen the HB actuator rod, and weld the lever to the shaft. Got the idea from a couple members on here, Spaggyroe and Madgyver.

Finally rolling! Brought it out of the garage this morning after a few months of putting axles in it, disc brakes and fitting a hydroboost mod in it. Sits a little high, but hope it settles enough to my liking. have adjusted body gaps some more and installed hood gas struts. Put some old wheels and tires on it (32 11.50 15) to see how it would sit. Plan on 33 9.50 15's. I believe they'll be OK under it.

Finished my Magnaflow 2 into 1 exhaust except for the turn out at the rear. Need to get tub back on to get the correct length for it.

Sweet set up! Nice work.
Does that kit come complete with the flex tube section and all?
How long is the muffler?

 

[hunter1]

Thanks! This was not a kit, just straight sections and bend pieces together and made to work. The muffler is about 25” I believe, pretty long but fit nicely. The flex pieces were bought separately as well. Curious to see if it will be too loud.
