48 DODGE Pilot House Rat

[billy]

Don't like to rush into anything. At this rate I figure about 1 1/2 weeks to install tank and compressor. Dang, I'm slow.

dont feel bad
i have been thinking about finishing my interior for three years
so far
the think part is as far as i have gotten......

Baby steps

I got the tank mounted and plumbed in, put 180 psi in it and left it overnite.
Didn't get back out there to work on the compressor today but I did still
have 165 psi still in the system. I'll take that.

Just need to get the pump on.
Pretty exciting stuff eh?

 

[I-R-POPS]

Progress

Got the compressor mounted. Just need to wire in a switch, a relay, and a pressure switch. Then I can get rid of the air hose going out the rear window. I'm out of room under the rear deck.

I hangout over at pops house once in awhile
So I get to see first hand what is going on with this build.
He has done a great job stuffing 10 lbs of dookie in a
5lb bag

His,welds look great and I think he has done a fantastic job.

I hear you there. I'm looking forward to being a irresponsible sorry
sucker that would rather cruise this thing than work.

You want to buy a lap top?

You're moving right along there.....

Hey Sarge-- where you been?
I'm glad you're not hung up in a snow bank up there.

Thanks, slow but I got nothing but time.
I went out to the shop yesterday and worked on the wiring
for the compressor but every time I turned around I was
just standing in front of the heater staring. For some reason
winter this year has been miserable for me.

 

[Old Iron]

Standing in front of the heat is where some of the best work gets done
I'd like to have been as far along as you with my projects but OP's projects come first [

Nothing to it. Seems like I've done a lot of it lately.

Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment coming from you.
Your build was a big factor in me going this direction.
You need to get on the road and maybe we can meet up somewhere.

Heat? What heat? You guys have heat?

I used to think heat in a shop was over rated. I figured if you were cold you weren't working hard enough then ..............I GOT OLD!!!
Now it's no heat no work period.

I'm with you, Pops. No heat, no work. Unfortunately, I was born to the wrong parents. Northerners. Was supposed to be a southern boy.
