Well it has been a few days now so I figured I should post up. I decided to say "**** it" and mount the wheels even though it is still winter (and it snowed last night). Also had to do a mild pull on the rear fenders to make everything gravy. Pictures!

First parts have arrived! Two big, beautiful, black Air Zenith OB2 compressors showed up on my door step. I have nothing to say other than these things are huge and awesome! I wanted the white ones (they were discontinued) and wasn't really thrilled about the boring black, but when they arrived I realized the black has a metallic flake and matches the OEM paint on my car pretty close. I will only be running one of these until I can figure out something with my alternator.

More parts have arrived (I am only missing the tank now and I believe it gets here tomorrow)!!!! I am completely overwhelmed by all of these nice parts. The wife might have to share the bed with some extra stuff tonight....

Tank arrived today, the final piece of the puzzle, and I dove right in. Sanded, primed, bondo'd, and sanded again. I will do some more sanding before a final coat of primer.

Tank is pretty much done, might give it a good wet sand and polish. Not terrible for a rattlecan job in my garage. It will work until I get it powder coated sometime in the future. Next I think will be building a frame for the trunk setup. I have decided to do the install the last weekend in April so that is when the big update will be. Until then it will be smaller updates getting everything ready.
