Re: 1963 C-10 in NC

I can sympathize with your 30 gal compressor. I totally wore one out during the first part of my build. I don't know how many hours I lost waiting for air pressure to build back up so I could continue. I can use my new one all day without problems. Wish I could have gotten one sooner.
You're getting a hell of a lot done on your truck considering your schedule. Put's me to shame.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC

I can't imagine how much more you will get done with a big compressor. There's no way I would be as far as I am without my 60. In my opinion it is the best tool I have ever bought. Second would be the right angle grinder with twist loc discs.

Just food for thought I have the Puma 60 gal 3hp and got it with free shipping for $649 for ACD

http://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/...mpressors.html

And on top of all that I don't know how you do it with basically 3 jobs.

And now I know why you want to be done by November.

I'll check out that site when I get some time. Not a bad price at all though. I'm doing the best I can for my Nov 8 date. If its done I'd be thrilled, but I won't rush the quality or work to meet the deadline. I've got to much time and money invested to rush now.

I've got the timing down on painting with it, but for a lot of other air tools you have to wait as you said. Also why I just do most of it by hand. Its not a big compressor, but still glad to have it.

Thanks for the kind words also!!

I'm trying to figure the phone flipping photo thing out. I may just have to go back to my old way of uploading from the computer!!
