That thread is entertaining though! Show us how to get sh*t done, and send it! Go Eric go!
Ok so this is me taking it easy today. The first thing I did was measure out for galvanized pipe to hook the compressor back up. Then I took a ride to home Depot. Picked up some pipe nipples, a Union in a 98 cent can of spray paint! Went home scuffed up the silver trailer rim and put my ¢98 to good use
The other one has a good tire but the rim is bent and it doesn't hold air so later I'll swap them out.
While my paint was drying I unbolted the compressor from the truck and made up my new line with a Union for disconnect purposes. When I test fired it I didn't like all the vibration my new pipe had so for now I showed it with a pice of wood I'll come up with something else later
Also on my test fire the unloader over pressured the system and I had the new one so I changed that too
Trying to cool off for a few and eat some lunch before I get back at it last night's rain cooled it down but now humidities insane and it's hot again I am on vacation you know.

Nice job! Maybe a flex joint for a permanent vibration fix....?
Maybe it's working at the moment so I'm still rolling.
Ok it's 3:30 I have to go get my paycheck. But I'm leaving my backyard shop oper because I'm making progress! The doors are in putty and the hood is basically done. I had to do a little extra work because of last night's storm and my crappy tarps tho.
I still need to go over the hood with 320 and clean up the edges before it's primed
The hood was rusty when I got it and I know it's going to come back. When it dose I'll buy a steel cowl induction hood but this one is good for a couple years.
The doors had no rot but man were they dented up!
My guess is all work trucks eventually suffer the same fate but these look a lot better than most now
Ok time is wasting I'm going to go get my check now and ask to borrow some stands.

Try some polyurethane. They should fair the weather better being expose to everything. Believe Energy Suspension might have something in their catalog.
It's dinner break. I went to work to get my check and while I was there I borrowed the 2 stands for painting doors off. When I got back home I mowed down the body work on the doors with 80, 150, and 180 because thatsp what I have on hand.
I won't get back to it today because I'm taking the girls for ice cream and then going to get the money for my heads. I pick the heads up tomorrow morning then it's back to bodywork. The heads I'm getting are 206 here's a picture of them
From the information I have there old closed chamber oval Port that's all I know lol send it!

What pisses me off is that it will look incredible when it's done. I took every precaution I could think of and mine looks worse than a dog's *ss.
Go'head, bodyboy!
