or in stead of bending, one, if you know someone that works at a machine shop a factory, you can cut out the metal instead of bending it, the just make it look better. Here's a pic of mine, its aout 7"-8" long, its sandblasted and its got holes in it to make it lighter with beveled edges to make it look cool. It took my dad about 3 days to make it during freetime/lunch and DELPHI. Its a little big for my taste so im gonna shorten it up soon.

that thing looks tight:D Me? possibly, I might start selling them soon. I just gotta buy some aluminum instead of stealing it fom work. How much would you be willing to pay? sand-blasted finish? I could maybe paint it.....

i know i need an adapter, and i would pay probly pay like 15-30 bucks, but im knda a noob and i dont realy know how much these things go for. if u think i should pay more, i might pay it as least it isnt above $40.
and i dont really care about sand blasting, but i would like it black.
and i would like to get the screws i shold use for it also, so i dont have to go lookin for em.

I don't want to steel aluminum from work anymore so I'm going to buy some soon. I think if you want me to paint it, it would have to cost a little more than just a drop because you gotta prime metal and stuff. Im not saying I can selll you one yet, but I'll know within a week or two probably :)

Tank goes on a 45 degree angel cause hose was small and he liked it like that....acts like an ex-chamber too;)

hey, hod on and dont bother gettin the thing u need right now.
im still debating ont wether i should get the drop or an intruder x-chamber....
what would u guys get for an a-5?
Captainmorgan
10-19-2003, 12:53 PM
Don't get an X-chamber, they dont do much. Get a barrel if you haven't yet, then regulator, and then a drop I guess.

captain, sorry bout this, but mt parents just got my teachers monthly report on my grades and now im grounded!
they said i cant buy didly shat for at least 2 weeks:bawling:
and i think it would just be to complicated for me and you to make sure this thing would fit my Tipp A-5 air system( the hose is just to long and you would have to cut out the bottom basically for 'the thing that the tank is screwd into' for it to fit)
sorry to waste your time man...:|
Captainmorgan

thats alright it would have been probably at least 2 weeks until I could get a belt sander to make them with, I know they would fit if you bought the adaptor but usually when you get a new drop, you gotta get new hose.
