Phil et al.,
Make sure your new floor pan, particularly the drivers side, is for a
Bugeye w/ a floor mounted throttle pedal. The newer floors for
suspended pedals don't have a flat area to mount the "organ" type pedal
of the Bugeye and need modifying. Guess how I found out after
everything was painted etc.. Just passing it on.
Good luck,
Dave
