I backed the MC push rod out as far as it can safely go and gained a fair bit of pedal. Stops a good inch before the floor so at least that's something. Put the new wheels on and the fit seems good. Won't know until I drive it which should be soon. Still have the electrical issues. My grounds are good so it's something else.

I just got around to fixing My BMW M6 paddle shifter works fantastic now and I tried the Launch control pretty cool. Nothing like the Vetts though.

All the same I have now fixed all the things that were wrong with the car had but one one of the O2 sensors after the catalytic converter easy peasy!
Then I am gonna sell it I don't want too but its gotta go! some other projects are gonna go as well.

I've never driven a paddle shifters car. I would imagine it would be pretty cool Ina hi performance car. Bit of a bummer to sell it but extra cash is always good.

Still messing with the Stang but it's getting close.

The BMW M6 is a Luxury performance car with 500 hp V10

Thanks. It will be finished just in time for the rainy season. Oh well.

An M6, that is a sweet ride, no wonder you like it so much.

Looks like a 32 but it's a 28 Dodge Bros. It's a really nice driver, 302 Ford, rack and pinion steering. Runs and rides great.

Thanks

When I was planning the shop i saw some Texaco type shop builds and thought they were pretty cool so that's what I built.

I tried uploading a pic but it says file invalid even though it's exactly the same everything as the Stang pic?
