    I enjoyed your video. I have a 46 Ford bench seat that needs foam for the bottom. I will be using plywood for the bottom since the springs are totally shot. What foam did you use and where did you get it? Thanks, Bill

That thick thread does look sik....Since Hot Rods are more for show and little use... should be okay...but high wear areas that will fray apart rather quickly.

    Yeah, i am not sure if its a good thing to mix different weight threads between your upper thread and bobbin. However, do pay attention to what type of thread you are using "polyester vs nylon", do not mix up.

    also, to save you from having to pull another tank, get you some silicone grease. make sure you always use a new o-ring, but put some silicone on the o-ring to "glue" it in place (don't use silicone sealant, only grease). it'll hold it in place till you install the lock ring. we just had the same issue on our 66 bronco. saved us from dropping the tank.

    i couldn't tell in the video, but if that sensor is behind the thermostat, you're gonna wanna swap it with the factory gauge spot. otherwise the snipers coolant enrichment tables are gonna be jacked due to not getting a good reading until the thermostat opens. another pro tip since it looks like you either do this for a living or are doing side job installs, wiring cars. invest about $5-10 on a pair of amazon special "flush cutters". makes those zip tie cuts sooooo much nicer. no more cut hands/arms when you brush against them.

    Love the truck! Awesome build. Glad you got your sniper and fuel system dialed in. I put the Sniper 2 on my K5 Blazer and I’m happy with it so far. The only thing I’m unsure about is the fuel pump. I went with the Holley OEM in-tank pump sending unit. It runs nice and quiet at first, but really gets loud and high pitched after running for a couple hours. Holley said that’s normal, but I question that. Time will tell I guess.
