Product Name: Throttle Pedal Assembly
Product Description: Located inside the vehicle, this throttle pedal assembly connects the throttle pedal movement to the carburetor throttle linkage movement. It includes the throttle pedal, cable to the carburetor, and the connectors to the carburetor. The throttle pedal pivots at its center, shown by the arrow. When the pedal is depressed, the upper portion moves away from the wood panel. This causes the throttle on the carburetor to increase the fuel. During assembly it is important to place the throttle pedal in the right position (left or right and up or down) to get the maximum pedal travel without any mechanical
interference. Its position must also be comfortable for the driver. In addition it should be close to the brake for ease of foot movement.

Product Name: Fuel Tank
Product Description: This fuel tank was purchased as a 1937 Ford fuel tank. The frame of the vehicle was manufactured to accept this type of fuel tank. The tank was installed and the fuel lines made to fit accordingly. The blue vent line is used to allow air to enter and escape the fuel tank with changes in fuel temperature. As the temperature heats up, the fuel expands. As the temperature cools, the fuel contracts.
Also, as part of this vent there is a rollover valve, as shown by the arrow. Its purpose is to stop any fuel leakage in the event of a vehicle rollover. The center hole is used to attach the fuel sending unit to the tank. Its electrical connections hook up to the fuel gauge on the dashboard.

Product Name: Body Parts
Product Description: Different companies will provide specific body style parts. Once a decision has been made to build a specific style of street rod, the next step is to identify companies that can provide that style. The style used in this street rod was a Wild Rod 1937 Ford, hardtop convertible roadster. When the body parts were ordered and delivered, the following parts were received: two rear fenders, two front fenders, convertible top, hood, trunk lid, two running boards, the body, dashboard, center console, two doors, grill, and two side engine panels. Once the body parts were received, they were put together, making sure all parts fit correctly. Also note that the body parts still had parting lines in the fiberglass. A parting line is a raised area where the two molds fits together during manufacturing. These parting lines had to be removed during the sanding and painting of the vehicle. The arrow shows a parting line. It is also important to select the body style before having the frame manufacturered. The frame and body should match each other for safety and ease of installation.
