Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Got a new toy today..... 20gal air compressor. Picked up a pressure washer this weekend....both will get plenty of use. I'll need a larger compressor down the road, but this will get me by for now.
Also have the new white walls getting mounted/balanced tomorrow, so pics tomorrow on them. |

Heres the new compressor. 2yr warranty with Home depot. Will look at something around 80gal once the shops up, but this should get by for now.
I have a couple of buddies who are running this brand and didn't hear any complaints. This one is 20gal 1.5hp 150max psi and 4scfm@90psi |

Dropped the white walls and rims off at the shop this a.m., so should have them back by lunch. Can't wait.....

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
We'll know around lunch. The white walls will have to be scrubbed still to get the protective cover off, but I'll get a few pics........(hang on, tire guy calling now).

It was replaced with a Husky 80 gallon model which had a nice deep thumping note to it. 10 years later it died, and since I no longer paint cars, I replaced it with a Husky 30 gallon upright, 2 hp model. It’s the quietest compressor I’ve ever owned. We have an attached garage, and when I'm in the house I can't even hear it running. |

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
The 80 gallon was the nicest compressor I ever had, especially for painting or sanding. It would actually catch up and stop running while in use with high flow tools. The last time I tried to use it the pressure relief on the motor failed and it tried to start against the pressure in the tank and literally burned up the motor. Fortunately I was standing right there when it happened.
A new motor or repair was almost the cost of the new smaller compressor so I let the big one go as I just didn't need one that large any longer. It's also nice the new 30 gallon model is 110v and portable. |

But I'm getting much closer. Talked with my painted last night. Will do the interior 1st, so I can get the glass reinstalled. Then start on the exterior. |

1st pic of the rims & white walls. I'll get the blue film off tonight and get the trim rings & hub caps on. Then some more pics.
My buddy runs a tire shop in downtown Fayetteville and they only charged me $36 to mount all 5 tires and balance them. I like the weights on the back side so you can't see them. |
Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
So you are running the chrome "beauty" rims? They look awesome!
|
Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Yeah, the trim rings and the 61-63 deluxe caps. I think I have a set for the other 63 too, and 2 for the trailer.

My body and fender guy built a lean-to on his garage to keep the noisy compressor and furnace outside the working area. Mines inside and I turn it off when painting, not only because of the noise but also it blows air around and kicks up dust when running. |

Heres some better pics...one inside and one outside (starting to get dark). The trim rings and caps really make them pop.
I might try a different brand trim ring. These are off the 63 and are very tight, but they seem just a hair looser on these rims. |
Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Very Nice! Where did you get the beauty rings?
