Raceral....

i like the "sunken" handbrake lever

& is that a brake bias valve behind the handbrake lever?

Thanks HandyAndy, the handbrake is off a Honda Civic I found in a wrecking yard.
And you are also correct on the adjustable bias valve.

That Pinto pic threw me as well,I remember taking it of the drivers side inner wing and the carbs on the other side.

Old thread I know - but it's where I am now!!!

Looks like most people just drill into the chassis rails (and rivnut?) to secure their p clips?

Does the 'perforated strip' idea mentioned in The Book mean "welding on a strip of 1mm plate that you've drilled a load of holes in" - like the pic in Dogwoods post (page 1 of this thread). And do most people not bother with this approach?

Just want to make sure I weld everything necessary before painting!!!

I used 40 x 3 , drilled every 100mm with 3mm holes for pop rivet's ,top and bottom of tunnel.

40mm wide x 3mm thick flat steel strip.

You can also paint your chassis, and fit the strip afterwards with rivets, as Simon (Tatey) did:
