So here's the only pics I could come up with for now. Not much but hey, it's better than nothing.

So let me elaborate some.
The welder is a Hobart Handler 175. I'll be running .035 wire and C25 gas for the frame, brackets, plates, etc. I'll switch to .023 wire for any body work I might run into.
I'm running 1/2" air line throughout with 1/4" for the gauges. Also using a 1/2" valve manifold (the big gold thing in the pic) for FBSS.
I have an engine driven compressor that should run at 150 psi or so that I still need to go through.
The bags are standard 2500 lb front and 2600 lb rear dual 1/2" port. I'm not going to use both ports but I figure it will give me some flexibility running the air lines.
The air tank is 9 gal. I have a second 7 gal tank if I want that much volume.
I'll have a gauge for every bag and the tank.
Well, there ya go. There's my plan. I hope it works.

Things have been crazy around here so I haven't worked on it at all. But I did score a Milwaukee portaband. Got the saw with the case, had to order a chain and sprocket, and get some new blades and still under $75!! Also got some misc other little things. It sucks I don't have time to work on it, but family comes first.

All of my bags, air line, valves, fittings, and tank came from airbagit.com. The multi-page ads in the magazines. I have the 1/2" manifold. I figured I can always slow it down if it's too fast. But if you get too small of a valve, there's no way to speed it up.
