Lol ya when I swapped Transmission out and rotated the Transfer Case the exhaust got in the way, now I need to move the pipes
Around a little, it looked good when I had the pipe bumper on it years ago

I got shop air today..... and no air leaks so far, I bought 2 air reals from harbor freight years ago and never have gotten around to even in boxing them, so today I’m going to get one of them mounted to the ceiling and then try to find my air hose that has come up missing since we moved

What did you use for the air runs - I have one of their reels as well, just haven’t plumbed the garage yet. And the pics - where are the pics LOL

I ran 400 psi PVC from my compressor shed to the garage which is about 100 ft away-underground about 30 years ago almost then inside the garage I used steel pipe. Been working well

I think I might do the pvc to the reals as well, my long term goal is to have my compressor in its own shed in the side yard with lots of sound deadening but for now she is in the back of the garage

Mine is an old school Ingersol Rand Horizontal 1hp motor that is about 80 lbs and the flywheel is about 18" and is about 30 lbs. about the size of a 500 lb boar. I like it 100 ft away and in it's own shed

One of these days I’d like to have a compressor that big..... would have made painting MUCH easier.....

Unfortunately I have no place to paint. I only use it for plant air-tools.

I have neighbors on both sides of me with new vehicles. That wouldn't go over well at all. I figure my compressor is probably 50-60 years old at least. Probably from the 60's. My buddy who I got it from about 30 years ago said it was from a paint & body shop

Wow, I am lucky that I have a 2 car garage to myself, I had bought my compressor years ago because I was painting and sand blasting at the time and knew I would want to continue to do so, it has been a really good investment

1 jeep garage here and glad I have that. Never needed to sand blast it or paint it. . Wish I did have a 2 jeep garage for a lift though, now that would be real nice

Nice. I got mine hanging on a huge hook, about 80 feet. I can even air up the neighbors cars. Would be nice to have a reel, or the space for a reel. I do have the drop light on a reel. You are starting out with a blank canvas in that garage. Have fun filling it up
