Maybe hit up Flaming River or Ididit and see if they have a universal street rod type unit that you could adapt. The guy in this video seems to have done what you're trying to do?

If you're not already aware, there's a company called Powertrain Control Solutions that has paddle shifter kits. They don't seem too cost-prohibitive to me. Are you absolutely married to paddle shifters? Presumably you have an electronically controlled transmission and some sort of ECU? Not sure...

Cool. Most people probably don't care enough to make a platform, they just put carpet down on the floor or don't even do that and that's the end of it. It makes sense to do that since there's no actual need for a platform and it adds a small bit of weight back. I just like the idea of it looking...

Jim has some stories and is funny. We only got to talk with him briefly but it seems like he knows a lot of very interesting stuff. The gun-drilled Ti T-bars were almost laughable.

The judge guy was goofy. He did not understand what the car was about at all even though he was told repeatedly it was a clone/tribute to the original factory race cars. Saying stuff like "where are the inner fender splash shields" and "there's a small dent in the quarter, that's points off" was...

Ozite. Problem with ozite is it doesn't look anything like the original loop-style carpet. It comes in flat rolls and there's no driver's side foot pad or trim. If you don't care about the look then that's probably what you want. I believe it's easy to install and it stretches. Might even be...

Yeah, unfortunately most people walked right by it. Probably because it is so unassuming. Even under the bright lights very few people gave it a second thought so mission accomplished. Watch some of the You Tube videos covering the show and you'll notice that whoever is filming stops after the...

Very well said. I agree that Bob Ashton is really good at keeping the show fresh every year. My kids could care less about my cars. Maybe they will some day but point taken about keeping the hobby going for future generations. The large majority of attendees were 60 and older. The truth is it’s...

OK, fair enough but not my cup 'o tea. I grew up with those bloated **** boxes and they don't inspire many fond memories. I can appreciate some later offerings like the Fox body cars, '78-'82 Malibus, Grand Nationals and even the turbo GLH cars but for the most part those '73-up cars were...

You're joking, right? What would they call it, "The 2025 Malaise-era Velour and Smog-equipment addled lo-po 5 mph bumper Car Nationals"? I mean, they had a fairly significant Mustang II exhibit this year so I'm good on those.

I made a Google photos album myself. There's over 240 images and videos. There really were a LOT of Chrysler products there. It's almost like they should have taken the "Corvette" out of the name of the show this year. Regardless, the level of everything at this event is just mind boggling. I...

This is not fmj’s car, he has the Black ‘65 Dodge in post #125. That’s me and him with our backs to the camera in the first pic. This Belvedere was amazing though, basically flawless.

I’m on my way as well, boarding momentarily. Not sure which project you’re asking about but stop by and introduce yourself when you can. Lee said your Dart sounded nasty. Will try to let everyone know where fmj is situated. I’m just there for moral support. Looking forward to seeing some of...
