That's beautiful! Thank you.
And now, for something very ugly: I managed to get the old pedal box out of the car today. Content warning: rust, crust, and general awfulness. Do they always look this bad, or is mine just special?
Kinda surprising the pedals even worked, now that I can get a good look at everything.
Also, thanks to @Dr.Jeff on a different thread, who suggested snipping the hoses where they pass through the "firewall" (or whatever you call it in the frunk!). That made it much easier to pull the box out. It did involve leaving a snail-trail of fluid across the entire windshield-wiper channel when I pulled the reservoirs-plus-hoses. But I just dumped a bunch of degreaser down the middle where the latch is so it ran off in both directions, then chased that with about a gallon of water. It all seemed to wash down the drain holes on either side.
Question: is there a particular recommended grease/lubricant to use on moving parts? I have silicone grease (for brake parts), lithium grease, some Red Line CV joint grease, and a spray can of dry silicone lube. I'm thinking maybe the CV joint grease?
