Loud pedal, go pedal, skinny stick or just plain old accelerator. No matter what you call it, the gas pedal is one of those important interior component that needs to precise and functional. For hot rodders, it’s not enough to be functional, it has to look like it belongs in a street rod. We found just the thing when we were doing some window shopping while surfing the net.
Billet Specialties, a longtime favorite of ours for manufacturing some really bitchen’ hot rod wheels, has an entire line of interior components for street rods. Our guys knew that but it had been a while since we had checked that portion of the catalog out. Checking over the line of interior goodies, we spied the street rod gas pedal and wondered why this wasn’t already on our project cars. Their Street rod rectangle gas pedal was exactly what we had in mind.
Not wanting to bogart all the good stuff to ourselves, we decided to share the skinny with our faithful readers. By the way, skinny is an old term that was used to refer to information, rumors, scoop or skuttlebutt.
