Goin' to the Carwash. . .

Not much has been happening with the OC-3 since it was stacked in the shed for winter. I've been struggling to get the appropriate regulator installed on the spare air tank. The first regulator I bought was defective right out of the box. I never opened the box on the second regulator. Upon getting it home I noticed it didn't meet the max PSI for my compressor. I'll get it right eventually.

In mid-October, on a relatively warm and sunny day I loaded the crawler frame into the back of the mini-van (I really need to get a hitch on that thing) and took it to the car wash. I invested in the "unlimited wash" option. I rinsed, washed, foamed, degreased, rinsed, foamed, degreased, rinsed, washed, and rinsed. The frame cleaned up rather well. It should make the paint stripping process a little cleaner and a little easier.
