Bad news Steve, I'm glad you are okay. That could have disastrous results.Originally Posted by Parrish57
Funny you mention that as Jeff says....
My car was built in Atlanta originally. We have always wondered about the odd gas pedal. It is made from like 3/16" or 1/4" aluminum, is overly large, and has a "wall" bent up on the right hand side of the pedal that come up to your ankle almost. Finally after talking to some people it dawned on me what it is - the pedal is to be protection from things that fly through the transmission tunnel.
Upon further inspection when we first pulled the motor out in 2007 I found that a kevlar blanket is riveted, with a nicely shaped steel frame to hold it, to the inside of the transmission tunnel on the driver's side. I thought it was a heat shield, but the header was wrapped and this is not heat shielding, but "scatter sheilding".
After the JH incident I'd run one if I didn't have this stuff in the Z now.
Get that motor knocked out. If you need something that we might have let me know.
