You should try to put a water trap between the compressor and the tank. Between the tank and bags, you need 2 valves per bag. One for lift, one for dump. Check valves between the tank and valve are not a bad idea either. Here is an example for plumbing the valves. When you open the dump...

My grandpa decided he wanted it back, so I traded it to him for the lathe.

PM sent. Thanks.

No, I need something new to drive while I build a new frame for Frank. This is what I came up with.

I got them from The Hot Rod Company.

Yeah remember when I said I was going to be driving a roadster next year? Lol. As for the frame, it will be pretty standard looking I guess. I have some 2x3 and 2x4 for the main rails, and will probably run some tube in the center for crossmembers. I want to run a Satchell link out back to...

Ya I have a bead roller I can make dies for to create the body line if I have to.

Nice looking work. I like the way your weld in bungs look.

I have a 72 Chevy inline 250 for it, and a TH350. I got them from the guy with the Jeep. He pulled them out for a big block. So I got some started on a lakes header for it this morning. Also got some chromoly rod ends for the 4-link and the wishbones. Thats it right now, but I should be...

I bought a 39 Chevy dash because I thought it looked cool. Not sure if I will use it or not, but its at least cool to hang on the wall. Wide 5 wheel adapters for the back. My friend was building a 48 Jeep as a crawler, and decided to part it out instead. I got these re-popped WWII Jeep seats...

I'm really not sure on terminology, so I'm not going to try to put it into a category. I'm, just going to build it the way I want to. I've been collecting parts for a while, and as soon as I get the cop car out of the shop I will have enough room to build my frame and get started. So, here's...

Welding to a spring makes it brittle. It also takes out its elasticity, and its no longer really a spring. You shouldn't ever weld to one.

Do you have a PN for the paint? I've never been able to find it on their site.

^What kind of coating is on your carbs?

Yeah I like the Langdon cast header. If I where building a 6 powered fendered car I would probably use that. Just not the look I am after for this car. I started work on my flange today. Made a press forming die for the tube. Will probably have some progress on it next week.
