Progress on my onboard air install. Slow going as I'm currently working on my 4th or 5th order from McMaster for fittings. It's hard to know what you need until you get your hands dirty. If I did it again, I would have gotten the individual components separately as nearly half of the stuff in the kit won't be used.

Here's a 1/2" tube to tube bulkhead fitting to route the air output from the tank to under the cab.

Any help here in Northern Virginia would be greatly appreciated...

You could just put in a used alternator. I got one from Paul Grant to go back from an aftermarket 150v that I had that broke. The used one works great.

I picked up a 200 amp alternator off of eBay. Rebuilt with new diodes, etc. Have not installed or tried it out yet though.

Sneak peak at my latest crazy project...

onboard air and water panel fitted to driver side lower rear quarter panel

The one piece I can't figure out yet is a suitable water tank to go under the car.

You could use a race tank, they're reasonable in price and stainless steel or aluminum.
