So I don't have much to post on the nova as its in the fab shop gettn some turbo piping redone. I'm using this down time to tie up some lose ends. Until today, I ve practically assembled my car using cordless 20v Dewalt impact guns and hand tools. Well, its time for some air. God knows I ve needed it from time to time. Mostly it d be nice to be able to blast some air to clean up nooks n crannys,lol. Anyways, I set my air system up. I researched what I could where I could, and this is what I came up with. Dunno if its right or wrong, but sofar works! As usual, all constructive criticism is welcomed. I don't know everything!

My game plan from jump was to build an outside compressor shed. I knew I was building a platform for the ac condenser anyways, Shop space is at a premium already. N I honestly don't wanna see or hear this thing running.

nice work. i'll be doing this same thing soon. 3/4" is nice as it acts as a surge tank of sorts.

question: is that a/c condenser just for the shop?

very nice! Just make sure you drain the compressor often. Got mine used and already had to weld up pin holes in the bottom of the tank because previous guy didn't.

i tell my wife its for my mental health and it's 100% true. any time I have crap day I can take that thing out and create a pillar of tire smoke that instantly puts a smile on my face
