So I wanted to use the mustang pedal box although it just would have been too much work. I didn’t want want to use the f100 pedal box but it seemed I had no choice until I came up with the idea of blending them lol. Here are some pictures to explain.

I had to make some brackets for the brake and clutch switches. Then make a complete setup for the hydraulic clutch master which is from an 07 and up mustang gt500 to match the transmission.
just need to blast and paint and it’s done. Next is to make the gas pedal fit.

I just can't be too surprised that you are using a one-of-a-kind pedal setup! LOL More nice work.

Thats thinking between the boxes (not outside the box LOL). Does it fit and function as intended? Looks great from the pictures! Another task towards “complete”…

I haven’t tried it with fluid yet so I don’t know for sure. I have enough travel and all the parts are strong and working as intended so fingers crossed. The rest of it is Al functional. We’ll find out soon enough lol.

And thanks guys for comments!!!

Finished my cab mounts, floor boards, rockers and risers. They didn’t fit the greatest but not terrible. I had to modify the Centre cab mounts to get the right angle and I had to finish of the rear of the rocker because there was missing metal (more so on the driver side than the passenger side which sucks because I accepted the passenger side and installed it and then when I saw the driver side I was pissed cause I should’ve compared them because I would’ve fixed both and now the passenger side will be difficult to rectify &#128532 but what I’m not happy about it the side of the rocker is taller the the original so it doesn’t line up with the bottom of the fender but I mean the fender needs work anyway so what’s a little more modifications.

pics to follow
