    Lookin' good so far.

    Is that a regular Singer sewing machine or an upholstery model?

    NTFDAY and Oldf100fordman, what kind of problems were you having with the Accel plug wires?

    I'm on my 2nd set of 8.8mm's and they're working well.

    I've had problems with their Super Stock series. I had one set that the resistance/impedance on a couple of the wires was over 10k and I've never found a set that didn't have at least 1k. Also went through two of their Super Coils that would break down when they got hot.

    Thanks for all the replies guys.
    I am indeed building it the way I want. Tickled with the way it turned out soo far. And just to put everyones mind at ease, those are Taylor wires.
    Sorry that I couldn't post more pics but a lot of my folders were empty for some reason. I'm in the process of fabbing up a bolt in C-notch kit for suspension travel in the rear. And hope to cut the frony coils in the next week or so. See how it sits and go from there.

    I'm also wanting to make some custom fabbed "Stacks" for it. I just gotta be different. Anyone here ever done something like that ?

    All input is gladly accepted.

    Almost forgot, it is a regular singer that I was using. I also have an industrial machine at work...

    I just started fabbin up everything for my home built C-notch kit, any advice is welcome as always.

    I'm pretty sure the iron I have is plenty strong. Take a look and let me know.

    Yeah Flat, your steel is more than sufficient. You will be fine. Truck is looking great, and I've watched it coming together from the beginning on the other forum, and really like the progress.

    Thanks Don,
    I think what I'm going to do is start another thread when I really get the ball rollin on the c-notch and then do another on the bed/wood floor install as well. Since "The Hurricane" went through the bathroom last night, I may not have to buy any wood at all.(Just a lot of stripping and sanding)

    This metal is a real pain to cut just for a notch kit. But I'm gonna finish it either way...Looks kinda sloppy right now too. Guess I can doctor it up when its all done.
