My '57 Truck Build "Rosa"

[Russell Ashley]

Sorry to hear about your back, Dru. Take care of it and give it time to get better.

Seems like we all have to go through the learning process about air compressors. I had four different ones before I finally bought one big enough. My advice to anyone thinking of buying a compressor: Get one with at least a 60 gallon tank and belt driven compressor if you plan on using sanders, sand blasters, paint guns, or any tool that requires a steady supply of air.

Hey guys, I am laid up in bed resting. I had my 2nd epidural indection in my back this morning. Good news, It seems to be working and relieving the pressure on the siatic nerve. One more to go in 2 weeks. My air compressor is installed. I will take a picture tomorrow. I agree with Ashley, if you are doing alot of sanding and pressure balsing, paln ahead and get at least a 60 gal compressor. I dropped my donor frame off to my friend at the local high school auto dept. He is painting and installing the new drop shackles, hangers, spindles and poly bushing all the way around. Completely dropping front end and rebuilding anfter painting. Then the EZ-Chassis Swap Kit will be installed when I get it back. Meanwhile, I will be working on bodywork and tearing down engine. My goal is to have this done my next March. Thanks for all the thoughts. I lost another friend in Afganistan in September. He was an EOD tech and was taken by an IED. For he and Randy, I am trying my best to get it done. I will give more details in another time. Please keep there families in prayers. His name was SsA Michael Buras, USAF.:flag:
