SS Build Question?

Robert Simpson · 06-05-2014, 03:13 PM

I do not have a rule book in front of me. But, I would like to know a couple things. 1) Can you put the brake and clutch pedal on the floor for a traditional SS car? Say a Duster or Early Camaro? Or a new COPO or Cavalier? 2) Who makes these nice clean Cylindrical steering columns that I have seen in may cars? I mean no keys, turning signals, tilt, nothing but a clean column that appears to be longer and tapered towards the steering wheel. 3) Lastly, how big of a removal trans tunnel can you put in a car? Also does it have to "look" like a OEM tunnel? I am just asking question for your opinion, perhaps some chassis builders can answer these questions for me?

I need to look the rest up, but the removable trans tunnel limit is six square feet. Flaming River makes a lot of good replacement steering columns.

EDIT: Floor mounted pedals are allowed for Modified Stock only.

What about the new cars? CJ, COPO Drag Pak's etc, can they run the floor mounted pedals in those cars in SS not modified?

not unless they came from trrhe factory that way -- COPO/Drag Pak/ Mustang did whatever they wanted cuz its assembled by the "factory" so its considered OEM

I could be wrong, but an aftermarket steering column might be frowned upon. Removable steering wheel is ok.

Steering column has to look stock and be stock length.
