Condiment Corner (C.C) or is it still tornado alley ? is shaping up nicely JB, certainly won't run out of air.

Are you installing the same model pressure cutout switches on salt and pepper or just adjusting what is on them now to be the same so all tanks have equal pressure ?

Cheers GB.

Thank you GB, I'm still calling it Tornado Alley, but C.C. does have a nice ring to it. They are different pressure switches, however I've adjusted them to where Salt comes on before Pepper by a few pounds so I don't get both demanding power at the same time. I do have them set up so they both shut off at darn near the same pressure, but there is still some tweaking to do.

Wow glad no other cars were involved in the 57 freestyle.

Big smiles for the owners of the princess carriage. :rocker:

And one heck of an air system you got started.

Thanks shorty, I'm enjoying my low tech approach to my air system, I would like to do more high tech work in The W.H.H.H. but that is money I just don't have yet, now in 69 more months I'll be ready to pull the trigger on extravagance.

The girls certainly love their carriage, and also liked the '57, mostly because it was originally Coral and Ivory (AKA Pink and White), they call it my Barbie Car. Maybe instead of the Barbie Dream Car it can be the Barbie Rat Rod or the Barbie Trailer Park Special....

Wasfast,





War Wagon,

Sadly no, at first I just had it strapped at the front with the wheel "net" straps. One of those mistakes when you are rushed for time and think it'll be fine even though it isn't right. Worst part was I had a few other straps I could have used but didn't think they were necessary. :wtf: Lesson learned, I keep beating myself up for it, that was a dumb move. Guess what I'm asking for for my birthday though. Nice new 2" straps so I never have to worry about having them again.


JB

As long as you learned something and no one/thing was hurt it is all ok. As a general rule put on as many straps as you think will hold the load - then add two more.

Back in the day they use to call that color "TITTIE PINK", so you can give it the TP. When young ears are around its Trailer Park, TPS, TITTIE PINK SPECIAL.!:headscrat:dunno::bounce:

Happy new year JB
I must say that I enjoyed your years recap and laughed again when I saw your oil tasting picture.

Yes indeed, and hopefully others will learn from my experience as well.

T.P.S. works great for either case, if I use either it would most likely have to officially be the Barbie Trailer Park Special.

Looking really good with that compressor setup! Have a great year and I like the lemon!

Thanks Sean, I really liked driving the Lemon, but I can't justify driving it too much when the Green Dragon ('97 Saturn) can get ~40-45 mpg. It has a lifetime average of 41.47595 mpg since I bought it. Whereas the Lemon only gets 33.19104 mpg, of course compared to Black Plague 2.0 at 15.35781 mpg I will take either one even if I have to haul 8' lumber which I've done a few times. I'll drive the lemon a little more next year though, otherwise how do I justify keeping it insured?

Happy new year JB

Thank you Don, I will have enough air to get by for what I do at least. Maybe now I'll look into buying a big blaster for frames and bodies. :)

All,
I didn't get much accomplished that is picture worthy lately. I did meet with Herb and we discussed the fuel tank for his Hearse and we have a path forward. I'm working that direction now, wish me luck. :)

It has been a little quiet around The W.H.H.H. as of late, I don't really have an excuse. I've done a little cleaning, a little tinkering here and there, and lots of flats being fixed on the Greed Dragon. 4 flats in a week is a bit excessive, but fixing them at home is better than shelling out $15 per repair at the tire shop.

I did manage to get a little work done on Herb's Hearse, we had a long talk on how to install the new tank and pretty well decided the best course of action would be to drill a new hole so the filler neck in the new tank could be used. So out came the tape measure, lots of checking back and forth and then onto the hole saw:
View media item 67341Guess which hole I made?

I test fit the tank and came to the conclusion the filler neck on the tank needed to be cut down:
View media item 67337
As you can see I used the hose clamp to make a straight and consistent line around the circumference. It even worked:
View media item 67338
Now the second line, strip to make a good weld and tack it in place. I must have been having fun because I have no photos of that. I then test fit to make sure I'd have room before final welding:
View media item 67339
As you can see the original neck location and new location are offset by ~6.5" (165mm), they are pretty well in line though:
View media item 67340
I now need to find or make a hose to mate these two together. I also made a patch panel to fill the old hole. I used my C.A.D. template to speed things up. C.A.D. as in Cardboard Aided Design. :thumbup: I then made 40-11 trips back and fourth to the grinder to make it fit perfect before welding. (40-11 is pronounced fourty-levim, translated for you metric folks that means a metric **** tone. :lol_hitti)

I have it tacked in place now but didn't take any photos for some reason, I also have both filler necks blasted/stripped and painted ready for installation soon.

Well that is it, I have to change the oil in the Greed Dragon but with the rain we have had and of course the leaks resulting in a wet floor I can't really move both Herb's Hearse and the '57 so I get to lay on the wet floor to change the oil. :mad:

Keep moving forward,
JB

I think you did 10 times the work I did this year, but your work has all been in circles. LOL

HAHAHA!:lol:

JB, by the way you have the green lines run, will Tobasco always be in use? I think there are likely times you'll not wanting to wait for both tanks to be filled, no? I had an auxiliary tank in a shop I had rented and that kept the compressor on quite a while until it was all filled. However, I'm not sure of how exactly it was all plumbed but there was a way to close two valves and open a third and the thing would just run off the first tank.

Then again, it was 240 gallons vs what Tobasco is.

Brent,
Once Tabasco is completely operational I won't be able to separate it from the other condiments. I wonder if I should try to make that happen though. If I installed one more ****** and valve between Pepper and Tabasco I could use the filter regulator already installed if all I needed to do was fill up a tire. I may it out as I have planned and see how it performs with how I use it and will let you all know.

I see a mud dobbers nest?

It sure is, I'll try to clean it out a little before I bring it back to you. I wonder how it got in there. :eyecrazy: :lol:

They are probably the same family that built the condo's in the front in the carb and around the motor?:mad:
The OG had a "S" shaped rubber hose. I was looking at some of the newer tanks and they have a vent return line, I don't think that's needed. Something to do with high pressure pumps, and the excess returns back to the tank.
Boy the inside of the spare wheel area looks bad. I wonder if we could take a coat hanger and bend up a prop and have a muffler shop bend a pipe to match it. Then weld that to the new lines, then cut out about 3" or 4" for a rubber insertion? Just thinking??:dunno:
P.S. have you seen the motorcycle gas caps that you push and it pops up, then you twist it open? I wonder if we could change that fill neck to a stainless because of the rust in the pipe? And if the pipe on the tank could have a pie shape V could be cut then welded back up to help with the straighter line?

Well that stinks, I just lost a really long and well thought out reply, it was pure poetry, it would have won awards for years and decades to come. It is gone now never to be seen again, oh well as least I still have my health and sanity. LOL

Herb,
What does OG mean? For the vents on all of them that I've seen they are for venting trapped air in the top of the tank or for releasing vapors or drawing in more air when temperatures change. As long as the fuel cap you have is vented you should be A okay.

My concern with using metal bends is that the bend radius would have to be very tight, almost nothing and just don't think it would fit. Also if I welded anything to either tube I doubt I could install them through the holes. With the V I considered that as well but just didn't have faith I could get a good straight cut or accurate angles in order to get it to weld back together leak free. If you haven't noticed I'm just a hack with a welder, I'm no welder. But with enough grinder and re-weld work I can get it leak free it just won't be pretty.

Stainless would be awesome, but I don't feel comfortable with nor do I have the equipment for welding stainless. AKA gas (Really expensive to get the first time, I'm cheap and make due with flux core for now.) and SS wire (not too expensive, but just don't see the need often enough to warrant the purchase). If you want to find a gas cap like you want I'll see what I can do, but personally don't think it fits the style of the car. However, it is your car so I'll do as you wish.


All,

I was able to get the patch panel welded in and cleaned up this morning and started opening the hole for the tank filler neck to install the grommet. Note to self when doing precision butchery you need more light than the in-floor lights provide.

JB

P.S.
While reading Finelygotit's thread Welcome......To Odd Acres I ran across two funny lines when he referred to his Cobra Replica:

Cobra's are kinda like lightweight, precision guided sledgehammers.

and

Cobra's are like *****, real or fake they are still fun to look at and play with.

It's probably the angle, but it looks to me that once you get your hose connected you could have a trap with the hearse sitting at an angle. If that happens you'll need a vent line from the lower pipe to the upper pipe. But it sure looks like you're getting there!

Do yourself a favor and buy a couple of pounds of 3/32 E309. You can stick weld around 90 amps with a crackerbox and get a great "sticks to anything" weld. We used it so much in the Tulsa Refinery the welding engineer from Philadelphia called it OMR and that became our acronym. Oklahoma Miracle Rod. From welding cracked 410SS liner in the coker to attachments on 9 chrome tubes. I keep some around for when I actually want something to stick under heavy usage. Great fro unknown materials from modern equipment or refinery junk that may be monel or whatever. I've used it to patch Hastelloy screen in my forge.

Remember the motto: 308's great but 309's just fine.

I think it is the angle Andy, in the first of the pictures in the trunk the tape measure is between the pipe ends so I have at least an inch for the double 90°'s. However, if I can't find a tight enough radius I can always trim up the pipe from the outside a bit more. Thanks for the word of caution though. :thumbup:

That is something else I don't have, I only have a wire feed welder, a Millermatic 211 if you or anyone else is familiar with it. I don't have a stick welder or a TIG machine, I use flux core and sadly don't have a clue what grade it is. That makes me a terrible person doesn't it. :(

I'm only familiar with two welding rod grades (?) and that is the E309 and 7018, with those I think you can weld anything in a refinery just about. In my current role I don't have to worry about that as the inspectors and welding inspectors specify those details. I have a personal goal to get better at welding (should be easy considering my starting point) and with welding knowledge. Maybe I should just go to welding school at night...hmmm.....

Come back down and I'll loan you an old Lincoln cracker box welder.

Nothing wrong with the wire feed for the right applications but you really need to burn some E6011 and you'll get good. Easy rod for A/C. And free scratch and burn lessons while you're here.

Your welding equipment does not make you a terrible person, it's other things...

You should be able to weld SS with your wirefeed if you use straight argon shield gas.
See if you can rent or borrow a cyl for argon.....
Straight argon should be a lot cheaper than tri mix, and should work just fine for what you are doing......
I like your shop, keep up the good work.......

Lynn,
I don't remember you commenting here before, if so I apologize, if not then welcome to the club. In this club there are no membership dues, but you really don't get any benifits either other than maybe learning from my mistakes. Of which I made one this morning, :willy_nil
Thanks for the tip, I'll ask around if Herb decides he wants to go that route. Yeah I need to learn a lot more about welding, maybe that should be my new years resolution. LOL

All,
I was up a little early so I started a fire, and fired up everything in Tornado Ally. I used a die grinder to open up the hole for the tank neck another 3/8" all the way around:
View media item 67397
With that done I warmed up a can of primer and shot the newly welded area and the cut marks and started warming up a can of black. While waiting for that I worked on installing some more fittings in Condiment Corner when I heard a small pop from the stove. I turned around to see the black can on its side on top of the stove. I ran over to get it off of the heat when it slipped from my grasp and:
View media item 67398
So my first mistake was warming up a can of spray paint on a wood stove. I know it was dumb, but it sparys sooooo much better warm. My second mistake was loosing track of time while distracted. My third mistake was running over to move the can, 4th mistake was trying to move the can, 5th mistake was dropping the can, 6th mistake was not being fast enough to duck for cover, 7th mistake was admitting I made a mistake at all to ya'll. :lol_hitti

Good news is no harm to anyone or anything and I only lost maybe an 1/8th of a can of paint. I found the bottom of the can pictured, top about 5 feet away, and nozzle even, I have yet to find the cylinder. Another good thing was the vents on the stove were closed and the vapors didn't ignite. :shocking:

Okay that is all have a good one, stay safe, and keep moving forward even if that means ducking for cover,
JB

Well that's going to leave a "mark", as they say (fairly often) in TORNADO ALLEY:headscrat:dunno::bounce:
Glad you didn't have it in your hand, it sure would make the BALL go flying!
Painting in the cold weather is hard to do, and the paint doesn't really adhere that well.
I know you probably weren't looking, but I'm concern about the wiring in that area. Last I remember there were a lot of chops and more chops? Worried it might cause problems later when we get to that bridge. I hate beating things to "DEATH" on this poor time piece of historical, chopping at its finest factory workers hour. I sure it was right before a "UNION STRONG" break!:dunno:
Sometimes I crack myself up, and other times I just crack:bounce:

Herb, you are correct, it will leave a mark, that ball could have done some damage if it had hit bare skin or bear skin... Luckily no have to me or any vehicle occurred. I've said it before and will say it again. I'd rather be lucky than good sometimes.

The wiring back there, or should I say wire was in rough shape, the cloth insulation isn't as much there as it is not there. Would you rather me replace it with new style wire or find some old style cloth wire?

Do you think that the angle of the hose between the two fillers will make it difficult to fill the tank? I know if there is too severe an angle it can cause the pump to kick off over and over till you want to set the car on fire.

Not a mistake admitting your mistake. It would be a mistake to have not admitted it. Admitting it helps you to remember the mistake which helps preventing a repeat. While I agree warm paint works better, pick up an old refrigerator and disable the door switch so the light stays on. You'll have a place for 60 degree paint and can have a nice old Crosly or other refrigerator to admire in your shop.

Second best is keep a brick on the stove and put your must-be-warmed item on the brick to moderate the heating rate.

Next step is to describe your travesty of safety in a safety meeting at work. You'll get some real life ribbing there (and you need it).:evil:

It's ok to tell us JB, but I probably wouldn't tell your missus you were blowing up paint cans :FIREdevil

I asked her via text if she heard an explosion this morning, she said "No....Why???". I said no reason I thought I heard one too but must have been my music. LOL Okay actually I told her what happened, she wasn't impressed, I don't know why.

War,

Luckily I will not be the one filling it. :evil: I'll probably end up cutting the outer filler neck down to lessen the angle, or is that increase the angle of the flat spot in the line that would then no longer be flat? Thanks for the tip! :thumbup:

Andy,

I like the refrigerator idea, I've seen people use them before but not with the bulb hot wired like that. Splendid idea, off to search the list of Craig. I was in a turnaround prep meeting yesterday when they asked if anyone had a safety topic they would like to cover. I told my story, they weren't impressed. Sometimes I think I admit too much to my co-workers. :)

Lynn,
Thank you for posting it is always nice to hear from lurkers, or is that stalkers, or creepers? Okay Okay lurker it is, there are less public records associated with that than the others. Feel free to comment any time you would like and ask questions or make fun of my mental flatulence. I'm just glad it wasn't a full can, that mess could have been much worse and I'd hate to have to go to work and explain why the left half of my body was covered in black paint so close to MLK day.

All,
I have lots of parts on order, but not much to report so enjoy spending your time reading other more interesting threads today, I know I will...I mean I'll be working hard all day except on my "smoke breaks".

Good day all,
JB

jb, another thread I was sure I'd posted on before but I guess not. I was sure that I had made a comment when you were showing that Blackhawk S4. I remember typing a response to it. Anyway, just wanted to tell you how good you look covered in oil:lol_hitti

dlcwent,
I would have thought you'd posted as well, but according to my records you have not, looks like I need to update my records now. :sad: :D

So if you were going to comment on the S4 what would you have said? I'm all ears. Well not really that would just be silly considering I can't hear writing.

I thought I had made a reference to the rebuilding of it. I have one that I rebuilt a couple of years ago and was giving my opinion of how it went. And now looking back I am shaking my head in disbelief because I've been through your thread and remember seeing most of the pictures you've posted and read so much of it. Well, I'll try and remember to hit "Post Quick Reply" instead of "Preview Post". It may work better if I do that.:dunno:

dlcwent,
Mistakes like that are unacceptable, as your punishment you must post a photo of your Blackhawk for all to see. :D Glad you have it worked out and look forward to your insight in the future.
Thanks,
JB

dlcwent,
That is a very good specimen, I like that it even has the data plate still attached, sadly mine had gone missing prior to my ownership. If you have any more recent photos please post them up. Also I need to buy a rebuild kit for mine as it leaks way too much and it very annoying to have to add oil every few months, I'll just add that to my list of projects. Oh wait it was already on the list, where is that list anyway?

All,
I received my hydraulic hoses in the mail yesterday, ordered Tuesday morning and received Thursday. Great shipping speed from all the way in New Jersey via usps! Now if only I could figure out why my receipt online was $11 less than what they actually charged, that irked me a bit. I installed them this morning:

Just as my previous "photoshop":
View media item 66782
The lines are all run and Tornado Alley is fully operational, Pepper, Salt, and Tabasco are now topped off and Condiment Corner is ready to dispense flavor er uh I mean air. With a total of 200 gallons of compressed air powered by 11.5 total HP it can produce ~35 cfm or air at 90 PSIG. I'll check this one off as done! At least until I find out if moisture will be an issue, if so I'll revisit it and pull some tricks out of my sleeves. Thank you all for watching and reading along.

JB

Nice setup JB, I have often considered adding storage to my 60gal upright. I built a "black pipe dryer" for my setup, and even in our humid summers I can paint without any issues.
