Worked 10+ hours over the last few days to get my new compressor installed outside. Compressor is a 60 gal Campbell Hausfeld 240V. Also ran metal 1/2 inch lines from 'pressor to the garage with auto-wind hose reel, two separate water/particulate filters, couple extra quick disconnects. BAM baby! The shop is almost set up for the 57 oval rag rebuild!

Here's my 56 in surfacer primer. Got everything down to 800 grit. Trying to align the decklid and other panels before the Diamond Green. Been working on it over the past 4 yrs. Had to put in new channels, all four qtr panels, spare tire/ gas tank panel, both aprons, yada, yada, yada. Trying to keep some sense of continuity and motivation going. Soooo close I can taste it but the details kill ya Confused
