      Thank you sir=) I am actually thoroughly suprised that I haven't gotten any shit for going on air. I would stay static, but I figured that a fresh paint job and massaged fenders will be bacon in no time with the fitment I will be running. I want this car to stay nice and clean.

            Looks good. So far!

            Trunk lay outs are a bitch. for your air setup, you better be picking up a water trap sir!

              The trunk will be nice and simple. Just a few exposed hardlines and the tank will be seen. I will be picking up a watertrap, but it isn't as huge of a deal since I'm using an aluminum tank versus steel.

                Good to hear you got an aluminum one! Did you go pancake style, or tube style?

                    I am hoping for a nice package today=) Let's hope it arrives to keep my spirits high. I just got my RTAB sleeves back from being bored out. The manufacturer forgot to machine the ID, so my bolts would not fit. All is good now.

                          i had a compressor on my e30 to operate an air horn, that got annoying in like 1 day.  are higher quality systems quieter? (excuse my noobness on the topic)

                            High quality ones are much quieter. I have two Viair 444c's.

                              Helps to have rubber mounts to keep some of the vibrations to a minimum.

                                So, I swung by Earl today to check out his progress.  I snapped a quick pic, even though he asked me not to.  Gotta say it wasn't what I was expecting:

                                      Saturday was spent waiting for a package that needed to be signed for. That package never came=/ It was late in the afternoon and I didn't feel like driving 45 minutes to the shop to do a half hour of work.

                                      I did end up spraying my air tank in satin clear to keep the textured paint from rubbing off.

                                      I also ended up removing all of these suckers from the OZ barrels:

                                      IMG20130511141749zps7fba34b4.jpg

                                      Hopefully the package that I was waiting on comes today. I will be ordering most of the engine parts I need to start throwing it back together after I get the timing cover off.

                                      I'm hoping that wednesday I can assemble and install the subframe so that I can take the car to get the bay welded up=) After that I can disassemble it again to do the wheel bearings. Yay
