big foot gas pedal
« on: May 06, 2011, 03:30:39 AM »
usually splits right down the middle on this one... I'd like to get an idea of the kind of people that are in this forum. Wether or not you like the BF gas pedal says a lot about your character. That and the redneck in me says it adds 2.5 horse power...  :rotfl: whatchya think?

 :rotfl: Is there room for it? The skinny pedal is mighty small, if it won't clear the brake pedal and tranny tunnel you'll be be taking hp away, haha. I haven't seen one in a long time though, lol.

Are you also installing a chain link steering wheel to complete the look?  ;)

At that point it goes from "acceptable" to "awesome".

I don't know about that one.  I wouldn't do it myself... but each to his own - It's your eagle.

I do feel that it's a bit wasted, 'cause the pedals are tucked under that under dash shelf so much, that you wouldn't be able to see it very well.

But complete what EM was saying - the chain steering wheel, some dingle balls around for roof liner trim, some fun fur, some fuzzy dice on the rear view, wild pattern for the interior... yeah, that would be awesome (j/k)   ;D  ;D  ;D

I think they were.  I remember the things back from the 50's and they were likely old then.
