Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I could cut it in half and use it to water my goats.:lol: You pay to ship it up here and I'll put it to good use. Maybe Paul has a better idea. A air tank for his S-10?

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Dennis , Just ship it to me it is closer here than way over to Dave's .. I could find a new motor.. I'll send him a water bucket :uhmk:
My little 2 hp compressor got so stiff in the cold it would smoke the belts and not turn. I had to drain the oil and put in 5w30 motor oil just to get it running.. I need a new compressor badly as I have not even started the body work yet..:waah: |
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Looks like your going to spend some money. :waah: Look on E-bay.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I have been watching Craigslist lately and stopped in at Lowes and Home depot. Hoping to find something reasonable.
My buddy has three small compressors and a Big storage tank in addition to the small on board tanks. He has a set of manifold valves so when he is blasting or needing a lot of air , he just runs all three at the same time. , or he can run one independently for light useage. I suppose it would be cheaper than buying 1 big compressor. I will have to get out the checkbook before I can start the body work:waah: |
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
yup friend of mine done something simulair with a home supply propane tank , he set the compressor running in the morning and the tank was filled to capacity in the evening
he used to be able to paint a complete car on one filling without anoying the neighbours with a running compressor at 1 in the morning , gives a verry even flow a running compressor can give pulses in the airflow and more moistness in the air onewayvalves would work eazier than manifold valves , just set the 3 pressure switches at three pressurelevels low medium and high (all mounted in the maintank or the manifold ) and the compressors only come online when the one(s) running can't cope with the flow |

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Finally got some work done on the truck. I filled the hole in the door and fit the Impala door handles.
I had a badly damage hood from a 50 Chevy Truck that I used part of for the fill panel. The curvature was perfect as it was the same as the doors shape. Just to remind you this is what I started with. http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...70_bhcDF-L.jpg I made a templet from some thin cardboard, then duplicated it with the panel I cut from the damaged hood. http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...04_BBMJB-L.jpg |
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Here's the hood that I cut.
http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...40_4LWqH-L.jpg http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...76_LskfX-L.jpg I cut a hole on the metal using the handle gasket as a templet. I used a level to make sure the handle will sit correctly. http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...88_paMR5-L.jpg |
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Then I trimmed the panel smaller, and kept everything level. This is it after I gave it a few tack welds. If I do too many tacks at a time I'll warp the skin around the handle.
http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...18_W3K4K-L.jpg Then I did a final fit with the handle. http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...38_MszJG-L.jpg http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...69_HTsad-L.jpg This is it from the inside. Now I have to finish the tack welds, and make some linkage. http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...97_Tgqr9-L.jpg |
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
You know I will. I'm a posting whore. :lol:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Dang look good
|
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Nice mend work. Its so much like art... oh yeah, it IS art... :lol:
|
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Your right it is like art. You have to have an imagination. Then make it happen. Then cross your fingers and hope it works. If this didn't work I was just going to shave the door, and install solenoids. Looks like it's going to work. The linkage is the only challenge left. I have a plan.
|
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
i seen a combination of the two once , he mounted a microswitch behind the knob inside the door so the handle triggered it and triggered the solenoid that pulled the lock to open it you have more choice where to place the inside handle too
if you screen the solenoidlock combo inside the door with a metal plate and hook a relay for the power to a wireless alarm it will be verry hard to open the car or truck without you knowing about it with regulair tools of the thief trade |
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I also thought of something on that line, but I want it to be all mechanical and not rely on electrical. But if my plan doesn't work, that's the next thing I'll think about. :uhmk:
|
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Very nice you posting whore. :lol: Really, nice work!!
