Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!

There are a few soda/media blaster vendors there. You would think they would have a working setup to showcase their products.
I definitely think you're on to something Mike
Actually, you wouldn't need the oven at the August truckin nats, it is certainly hot enough to bake things.

Nice work Mike, the parts look great.

I used the cabinet fo the first time today, even though the compressor is a 60 gal 125 psi it does OK on small parts.

Keep up the great work.

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!

John has the same compressor and every once in awhile you have to stop and let it build up.... or don't hold the trigger in for 5 minutes like I do! Wouldn't be a bad idea to add an extra tank to your compressor....

wow, we just passed 1,000 posts... guess I need to get busy on this truck...

I've been considering it, but waiting on a deal I can't pass up on a 2 stage compressor. The extra tank would help out on it as well.
