um, I guess so.... 
I hope in the next month to have a website up where I can offer "standard" models as well as custom models. I bought the domain name, www.GearHeadPedals.com to see if this can lead to something. I would love that!!

Next, Millenium Falcon, and Enterprise space-pedals! The possibilities are endless, and space ships have bumps and knobs all over anyway...

Re: '51 Mercury Overdrive
Very small update. I am almost finished. I've been figuring out the last couple of details. My goal is to not infringe too much on the design of the car and "camoflage" the features as much as possible.
One of the biggies was trying to figure out where to put the DC input jack. The main issue being the input jack I had was too big to hide anywhere. So, it finally occurred to me to visit Radio Shack. Luckily they had a tiny round input jack that would fit right into the grill of the car. Yay!
I'm happy how it turned out. Next I will need to have the 9v batter be placed such that it doesn't touch any electrical connections and disrupt things. That should be easy.
Lastly, is the stomp switch for the trunk. I'll need a way to secure the spring so it doesn't go flying and I'll need to glue down the switch at the right height so the trunk is slightly open and yet will activate the switch when depressed. That should be easy as well. Hopefully by Saturday I'll have a video to post!

Re: '51 Mercury Overdrive

Re: '51 Mercury Overdrive
Hey, Sarah!
Very nice. If you make the next one based upon a rocket-nosed Studebaker, the input on the front grill will be even nicer!
Thank me later--
