Awesome work so far! I'm not too far down the road in Waukesha. Though my build isn't quite as far along.
Any more detail on the registration process in WI? I'm planning to kick up the speed this winter and hopefully start the registration process this spring. I've had a heck of a time finding any personal experiences online and the state documents don't really give a good feel for the difficulty of the process.
Quick question on the brake pedal. Is there a spherical mount within the pedal or just the rod ends that attach to the pedal? The reason I ask is the master cylinders won't necessarily have the same travel in operation so there needs to be freedom for them to move slightly independently as pedal pressure is applied. I hope that makes sense, not a very good explanation.
Looking forward to seeing this one move along. Very inspiring work.
The registration process from talking to the head trooper that runs the program. It starts with all of your receipt copies for all major parts so they don't suspect stolen parts. Being a replica they look for what the original car had for components. If it was an option you don't have to have it on the car. They will look up the car and find as much info about it as they can. You have to take pictures of front, rear interior. It should be in the packet. They may rule on it just on that alone. They also may look at it in person and from that you'll have to schedule an appointment. I've met the guy that runs it and he's a car builder as well and totally understands the guys that do this. Their looking for a non-stolen product and safe as well as a believable replica. The hot rodder lives up to different criteria. We really have it easier.
The brakes I never thought about the different travel. Their the same size master all three are identical. I figured the throw would be the same. It's bolted hard no spherical with the rear pressure adjustable.
Dude I just went through what you have and where do you get steel so clean. Man it looks like stainless. You have some cool stuff going on looks great. I grew up in Racine and go through the Milwaukee area often. If I have time next time I'd like to look you up.
