Ain't that the truth ...


Worked on the door gaps, it's closer now ... It's real close a little more work and it's good enough to body work w a little steel filler. The edges will need to be crisper to match the oem look.


A lot of hand filing ...

Pretty close w a file.

Body lines are still good!

More betta ...


I'll finish metal working the quarter and start on the rear fitment to get her looking like GM built them.

Thanks for looking ....

Cool Just getting some air!
Been plumbing my Max line air system this weekend ... nothing to fancy, just some 3/4 copper, 7 trips to Ace Hardware, drain line, a desiccant filter and then the 3/4 Rapid Air line w 2 drops. So far so good, only had one mulligan w the copper, and it took quite awhile to uncoil the blue line, you think it's hard to uncoil brake lines? I'll finish it up tonight hopefully.

Take a look ....











Nothing too exciting but it's one of those things that just has to get done ... now I can get back to work on the Camaro!

Thanks for looking ....

My $.02 of criticism is you may want to replace the first section and/or Union with a length of hydraulic hose. Your compressor will vibrate and a flexible hydraulic hose can deal with that better than rigid copper, is not too expensive, can handle the heat and pressure with ease.

That might be more like $.02 in criticism , $.03 of suggestion and $.04 of reasons... But I am still shy of a dime invested.

I have had great luck with 20' of 3/4" line before any drip legs and/or water separator. I hardly get any moisture anymore.

I thought of a flexible hose just didn't know what to use, hydraulic hose huh? I'll have to see where I can get hyd hoses from!

Thanks for your suggestions!

I'm not familiar with shark hose. Although, I have heard a trade name of sharkbite fittings... I do use push to connect fittings and poly hose at work but they dont like sustained vibration either, and a blown line can cost me.

I really like that hydraulic hose is rated for massive pressure compared to pneumatics. It's also cheap compare to purpose built flex hose for compressed air, by like pennies on the dollar comparatively.

Most Napa auto parts stores can make hose. Anyplace that sells tractor implements is another sure bet.

You can get it made with fittings which are NPT,National Pipe Thread.

I recommend male NPT on the tank or tank discharge valve connection and a Female NPT swivel in place of your copper connection.

If you heed the suggestion consider cutting your copper with enough to spare that you might reuse your unions or fittings in another location.
