The doors on my 40 won't shut since I removed the body from the chassis. I'll have to shim and tighten it down when I put the frame and body back together.
Very cool on the compressor!Ryan

Very important aspect that many people don't consider, myself included at one point. It wasn't terrible on my '49 Chevy cab, but it could be disastrous on a body as long as the sedan.
As for the compressor, I think the unloading valve might have been playing into my problem as well. It's a Harbor Freight pump, and I had the foresight to buy the extended warranty, so I think I'm gonna pull it off and get it exchanged for a brand new one just to be sure. Don't want to stress the new motor right out of the gate.
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
