Aftercooler followup
To follow up from my post back on July 12, I've added a 60 gal tank from my old Craftsman compressor that died a few years ago, and got a Milton Filter/Regulator, Coalescing filter and Dessicant Dryer plumbed into the system. I made a short video, it's only 1:20, but a picture is worth a thousand words. (Note: eventually the little green hose to shop will be upgraded to a larger air hose connected to fixed piping i.e. RapidAir or similar.) Hopefully, it will help out anyone looking for a way to eliminate moisture from their compressed air tank and also to increase capacity of compressed air in their system.

Hi, Ron, this is cool (no pun intended!). I’m working on setting up my air. Been thinking about the refrigerator/dryer from HF ($650), but maybe don’t need to go that route? What did the transmission cooler/fan set you back? Thanks for posting this. It’s helpful to see what others do.

@Ron Bell thanks, I’ve been looking around and that’s what I’m finding. Prolly should have done that before I asked.

Mike Herrin in El Cajon, CA. I’ve gotten very good at taking old cars apart. Not so good at putting them back together, yet. Working on a ‘61 Falcon, ‘63 Ranchero, and a ‘66 Impala. Slowly putting together all I need to start painting things. There’s sooo much on YouTube, it gets overwhelming. Saw a vid from Aaron and I liked the way he explained things. Here I am.
