Default Re: 1956 Thunderbird brake question

Clearance on the battery isn't so much a problem, it's the hood latch. I've seen some automatic cars with the master moved over to where my clutch is, then the battery dealt with. I don't know what mods went on under the dash for that.

Modifying the brake pedal is possible, but not easy to improve leverage. Mine is shortened (the hydro unit supplies the pressure), and lowered. Gives me more leg room, same with the clutch. But stopping without boost requires a does of adrenaline.
