| A side shot of the connector, showing how extensive the damage really is. (This may be a side effect of both tail lights being broken when I bought the car.) | You would know as soon as I buy air tools our compressor would take a shit. The tank developed a small (#2 pencil dot) sized hole on the bottom. Dad tried for about 3 hours to braze the hole in, then finally gave up and JB Welded it. I myself would just buy a new compressor, seeing that this one was built in 1951... | Another shot of Dad's redneck repair.
This is the kind of shit I try to avoid. This is the kind of mentality that fucked my Eagle up so badly.. Plus, in this case, it's dangerous. Air tanks that are rusty inside tend to EXPLODE. |

| Anyhow, NEW TOY! The parts bath I got Dad (or myself....) for Christmas finally got set up with solvent and everything. For the investment (Around $150 as shown with brushes, magnetic cups, and solvent) it's a great thing to have around. | The lid open and spraying solvent on an Eagle hood
hinge.
The black thing on the middle of the lid is the shock that holds the top open. After having solvent in it for a month it started rusting. So, I took it off, buffed the rust off, primed and painted it. That's how it ended up black. (The paint was left over from painting the brakes on my Oldsmobile) |
ANOTHER NEW TOY! Dad's new 20 ton hydraulic press. No more pounding wheel studs and universal joints in with a hammer! |
