So how’s it working out? Would it really go up to 150 psi?
It should, but I don't need it to go that high. I ride a mountain bike. They only need like 25 to 30 psi.

More pictures of further progress.

We grew up in the shadow of WWII. Just about anywhere I worked, there were vets. TOUGH as nails for the most part.
My dad was one, stationed in Morocco and Italy with the 461st BG which was a B24 squadron.
And plenty of WWII movies to watch too.

I'm no AC repairman by any means but the first thing I would check is your breakerbox to see if the circuit breaker tripped off. Could also he a breaker on the inside unit also. At least my unit does.
I had it repaired Monday. Actually it turned out to be an external switch for the furnace. It's circuit breaker was tripped which I never even thought of looking at. The service tech. new right where to go when he arrived too. He asked me where the furnace was and he went right to work replacing that switch and that fixed it.

That's the first thing I checked. I have a feeling it's that big starting capacitor.

Well, actually it was yesterday. In the late afternoon we had a rainstorm, cause the lights to flicker a little bit and now the A/C doesn't work. I called for repair. They'll be here Monday afternoon so I have to take off from work a little early.

Here's a band sort of newly discovered for me. I first heard of them im my Jr./Sr. years in college, 1975, 1976. I suppose I had heard their music but didn't remember much about them. But I recently came across them in some YouTube video about obscure bands. This band dates all the way back to 1968. I certainly wouldn't have been into them at that age, about 14. So anyway here's the album I'm listening to right now. I would call them a Progressive Jazz style.

Here's a follow up from my '64 Dodge 330 on display at the Savoy Auto Museum. A picture along with other models from my club too.

Further progress. I completed the cockpit. Fabric seatbelts, some PE and CF decals. And a few other shots.

A band so good they eliminated everything but guitars and drums.
I listen to them almost daily and have seen them twice now. The only way to describe them is Metal/Jazz.
They kind of remind me of Steve Vai style.

I just got this kit from my model club's monthly raffle.
I have an autographed postcard that I of the car from Dyno Don Nicholson that I got from him at the NY Auto Show when I was about 14. He was autographing them and handing them out to fans. So whenever I build the kit I will display the postcard with it. I knew I kept that postcard for some reason. I don't even remember if I ever had this kit when I was a kid.

Fresh out of the paint booth. Only the nose of the car is white so I had to paint the whole front part white before painting the red over it. This finish is fresh out of the airbrush, no polishing at all. It's just Testors white enamel decanted from a rattle can.
