Some days you get the bear........
.......and some days he gets you. All day Friday and part of yesterday my Son Dan spent getting the final sanding done on his rpu body so we could shoot it in primer yesterday afternoon. I ran to the store and when I came back he told me our air compressor had stopped working. We checked the obvious things, it is getting 220 volts to the motor, but still nothing. The motor was very hot from the da-ing he had been doing.
This is the second motor we have had from Eaton Compressors in 4 years. They were very generous and replaced both the motor and, a year before, the complete compressor unit. That had also failed and was making noise. I am going to call them tomorrow and try to find out why these things are not holding up. I see testimonials on their website about how people have had theirs in use 24-7 for 20 years, and no problems. I really like the unit and I like Eaton's responses to our previous issues........they even paid the truck freight in both times. I just need some answers and to buy a new motor as this one is 2.5 years old and the warranty is only 2 years.
Obviously, Dan is not real happy with being a hot rodder right now and feels like pushing his car into a corner and covering it up. Don and I won't let that happen though, we just need to get this latest hurdle crossed.
Isn't building a car FUN!!!!!!!!!!

As a hobby I keep ten beehives. My queen bees are now getting older and slowing down, so I ordered ten more queens from an apiarist. They arrived, but there were eleven arrived in their containers....
