After a few days in Texas, I spent time tonight getting ready to drill some critical holes, and to prime some parts.
I picked up a drill block from Brown Tools and practiced using it on some scrap. Pretty straight forward, and makes it very easy to be perpendicular to the surface when drilling holes. This block is for #30, #40, #21 and #10 drill bits.
I also swapped out my air hose connectors, replacing them with hi-flow fittings. I ordered all of these from Amazon. You can really see the difference in diameter of the connectors when comparing them to the standard connectors. I also replaced my air filter with a smaller in-line filter, and removed a few unnecessary fillings. The idea is to increase air flow through the paint gun, and to maintain pressure when the trigger is pulled. More air flow should result in a better paint finish. Hopefully will test this out tomorrow.
Finally, I got my VS down and clecoed the bulkhead that will be match drilled. This is all set for drilling tomorrow.
