My suggestion would be to use a 2-3' 3/4" hose from compressor to wall and run from there with your copper.

I ran my hard lines near the ceiling and my hydraulic hoses run mostly vertical. Condensate collects back at automatic tank drain and rarely reaches a drip leg. I can also move some of the compressors around a little bit for servicing, wall finishing / painting etc... And not have to disturb my airlines or take compressor offline.

Cool Update 6/1

Thought I'd post some updates on the ol girl ... took a page out of Ironworks book of marvels and craftsmanship and thought I'd try it myself.

Take a look, wished my welder was back from repair ....grrrr!









Had the quarter panel off so many times today I can't count em. Little more finessing and she'll be good to weld in place and then cut out the old and weld the tub onto the outer wheel house. Gained almost 2" vertical with this micro tub.

Thanks for looking ....

Cool Good day

in the garage, well for a couple hours before the heat came in!!! Don't know if I'll get used to this heat so early in the summer, oh well ... went to GG Pleasanton yesterday so I had to get something done today.








Well that was a first for me but I think it came out ok, as least I can use the 3 1/2" of wheel travel now w/o hitting the outer wheel well first! Still need to attach the tub to the outer wheel house lip but I'll wait til I get the quarter on and make sure nothing moved! And then trim some of that ugly 1" wheel lip!


Thanks for looking ...

Very impressive do you think you could have done it with the fender attached?

thanks guys! I'm sure you could have done this with the quarter on but it would have been harder, besides I am putting epoxy primer on the backside of EVERYTHING I weld or modify so no rust comes back from the carbon welding process ... makes you go "oh yeah!".

In closing, the money shot .... it came out just like I envisioned!!!
