I will do that Mal. He can clean all the nooks and crannies underneath........oh wait. Already did that. LOL!

It is almost done Gunner. There are alot of sanding scratches in the paint still. We are going to wheel it again next weekend. Once that is done then the decals can go on.(cross fingers here) After that there is only little piddly stuff left to do.

Thanks Steve. 4Speed was here and got most of it. Looks way better then it did but it needs to go 1 step further. The body shop manager and the detail guy from the wifes dealer is going to help finish it up. Hopefully next weekend.

Charged the air tonight and IT WORKS. Not right though. Blower quit running and the pressures are too low. I think the compressor is weak. Only building 110 psi on the high side. Now I have to figure out how to reclaim the R12 I just put in. Any ideas?

HOMER · « **Reply #731 on:** July 23, 2011, 12:25:38 AM »

r12 machines are easy to find and cheap ,because they have no use any more, we got one with a foot of dust on it lol
