Spring has Sprung: Back at It

We finally got a nice spring day and I found some time to go out to the shed. I installed a regulator on the spare air tank and did some needle scaling on the frame. This was the first time I've really used the spare air tank. It does add some extra capacity but my little air compressor is still working way too hard to keep up with the volume going out. I got about 1.5 hours of needle scaling in on the frame. While waiting for the air compressor to catch up I would go over the scaled areas with 80 grit flapper paper on a grinder loaned out from my dad. It works fairly well and brings the metal to a nice shine.
