Well... got the wifes car home. Among other parts packed inside the car were almost 3 complete black interiors. Bucket and bench seats in near perfect condition. Set of new trac bars, new rockers, new carpet, extra fender and rear bumper, custom and SS interior parts. A replacement tail panel and spare rad cradle. Floors rock solid from front to back.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
Nice work on the copper rose! I'd wish you luck with the new project but i know you don't need any luck, it will be done long before my truck will I'll bet!

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
Thanks... Still have lots to do on the truck before I start the nova. (Good thing wife don't read this) looked like a good project... Couldn't pass it up. Not many decent ones around these parts...

I have never seen an adapter like that, cant believe somebody even bothered designing one.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
I havent got much... peeled the cover back on it for the first time a couple days ago. Yikes. Dust from the plasma cutter. Had to upgrade my plasma. The lincoln would stop working. (mother board failure) apparently common with Lincolns...? Returned it and came home with a Miller Xtreme 625. Real impressed so far. Built a website for this flower/memorial thing I'm messing with. Xmas orders all done... should be able to get some truck time again now.
