Some more progress with prepping parts. Made the required mods to the donor's gas pedal and pedal box. I also cut 1.5" off the brake pedal (now that I made the decision to go with manual brakes), and beveled both remaining sections of the pedal in order to make a strong MIG weld. A superficial weld is not good enough. Imagine the weld breaking while you're driving, and losing your brake pedal. No, thank you...

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to weld the pieces together, as the shop at work ran out of the proper welding wire. There is a race track close to home, and a race car fabricator has his shop on the premises. Since I'm supposed to take my bike to him on Sunday to have an oil tank bracket re-welded in place, I'll take the pedal and have him weld it for a few more $. The gas pedal is currently taking a de-rusting bath. The clutch pedal and pedal box are in the process of being painted. Once the brake pedal is welded, I'll also re-paint it.
