So, when I started this restoration in October of 2005, I started a progress thread on the Subaru Board (NASIOC) that I active on. I have been meaning to create a thread here, but I never got around to it. I figured the kids over in ricer land would find it more amusing to see a classic resto in action then the folks here that have lived it.
But, I now post more here then I post in NASIOC OT, and feel more involved in the community then I did when I started. So, for the sake of ease, I am going to port over my posts from NASIOC, and posts from today on will be unique here. As I get ready to paint (JUNE 9th - 13th are PAINT DAYS!) this thread will get more active. :-) Zach PS, it kinda fun for me to do this. Looking over the old posts brings back memories of the ride... |

Zach, what kind of compressor are you using? A Porter Cable 60 Gallon compressor. 7hp Peak, 3hp running. So far, it will run all my air tools just fine, though it will run continously on grinders and sanders. I bought it early in the spring from here: http://portercable.cpoworkshop.com/compres.../cplc7060v.html At the time, it was something like $5 shipping, $449 NEW. it was the best deal that I could find. Amazon wanted $150 to ship the same unit. CRAZY I tells ya, CRAZY! Zach |

(meaning with a regulator . . . all you need to add is the air line and tools) |

(meaning with a regulator . . . all you need to add is the air line and tools) No. In the pic, the meter is just the pressure in the tank. The regulator, line filter and water trap, and fitings were all sourced from the local Home Depot. Remember to use plumbers tape when attaching the fittings and couplers, or there will be notable air leaks at all the joins. Also, the compressor needs to be direct wired - I think that most larger compressors do. It does not ship with a plug. I ran a new circut from the fuse box in my garage to the compressor. It also ships dry (no oil in it) but mine came with a quart of compressor oil to fill it. Zach |
