Got the air tank mounted in and ready to set the compressors and valves. Got a damn good deal on the Viair compressors and going with the 8 valve system.

Finally got a little time to work on the Rat this weekend. Ran out of gas so I had to borrow a welder cause I wanted to make some progress. Got a box made, mounted the compressors, valves, relay, ran all the lines I could until I ran out of line for the gauges. Gonna try to get the whole vehicle legal and driving in the next 9 days so wish me luck. Today I ordered the fuse block, headlight switch, headlight buckets, headlights and brake lights.

Well in between my son being born and having one of the busiest months my division has ever had I really haven't had time to sleep much less work on the rat. Ive done just a little piddling here and there. Dehumped the lower control arms, cut the cups out a bit more to keep the bags from rubbing and replaced some bad upper control arm bushings. Oh, almost forgot that I got insurance. Only need lights, horn and to install the windshield and she'll be running down the road!!
Cut out the cups
