Got some more stuff knocked off of my list.
I fabricated a matching brake pedal to go with the gas pedal and got them both installed in the car.
(Pardon the metal shavings and dirty carpet)
I also got the driver side Trim all finished as well as the driver side mirror install.
We went to do ball joints only to find out the upper control arms were F*^CKED.
Bought a new set at Jegs that were advertised as specifically made to fit a 1970 A body with 73 style fron disk conversion...
The fact that they didn't fit because they had the smaller 1970 style ball joint instead of the larger 73 style determined that was a lie.
Called Jegs and they wont have another set in until Wednesday so i get to drive 120 miles allover again for another part that probably won't fit.
It's been a nightmare trying to work on something else someone cobbled up so badly. Half the sh1t on this car has been a mix match of various years makes and models all cobbled up. Super frustrating considering the car is once again un-drivable and back on jack stands with the Nationals less than 2 weeks away...
Also, lower ball joints probably haven't been changed since 1970, even with heat they absolutely will not come loose.
Gonna have to cut the bolt heads off.
One step forward, 200 steps back.
