Took some scratch building but i got a sprayer pump built i think........while looking at the pics it looks like i need to coat the alum again......... while searching thru parts box i found acouple small turbos and i mated them togather, cut off the molded in tube on one of them,then bent solid alum wire for intake (from tank) and a supply for the back (which i need to adjuest yet) middle stationary unit and it will also supply the wands as will when done.......... the filter is the rear wheel hub from the coke truck kit....while the spacer is some part of the coke truck as well.......... Also as you can see i got the exhaust some what started,and the wands have there sprayers intack and painted...........I still need to spray yellow in the center of the wands for better viewing when they are down........... still aways to go and seeings how i cant paint anything right now i will address the other issues that need taken care of...........      |

Getting closer!! another update! I got the rear fenders made (Nothing fancy kept it simple) also added a drain valve and line just incase it needs to be emtpyed, Also re-did the upper hold rack for the wands,made new pockets and had to move two nozzles they was int he way go fiqure LOL....... I have the center spray nozzels in place,also added a piece of frame to the back for a bumper. I had to re bend the supply line to the sprayers, now everything should fit nice! after these pics were takin i took the tank up stairs and primed and painted it gloss white...........crossing my fingers i will be adding the second color after while then in the heat box it goes.......... Ok enough rambling on. on to the pics..........      |
