Spent the whole weekend at the shop making sure I keep on schedule. Jamie and crew are meeting their deadline on the body and paint so I better not fall behind on my end. Annie and I completed the restoration on the e-brake pedal and brake/clutch pedal. I was very fortunate that both were in excellent condition so after much soaking in Evapo-Rust it was time to do the fine detail and finish work.

The e-brake pedal was pretty much straight forward and just a simple restoration. The pull handle was a little more difficult. The reproduction handles are wrong and though NOS handles are not impossible to find we have been trying to retain as much of the original parts on this car as is possible so we decided to restore the original. Much sanding, buffing and paint filling later I think it turned out ok. The main housing is treated bare steel and NOT painted. The pedal was dipping in black lacquer just like was originally done.
