Dateline - Sep 1 - I've always wanted a "Barefoot" gas pedal since I was a kid and saw them on hotrods and VW's in the early 70's. So I bought one! I figured this would be a good "period" piece. Now, I understand that most Jag owners would not have had this pedal on their cars, but most didn't have Chevy 350's in them either! Plus, it is really nice having a gas pedal instead of just a rod to push!
