Progress pics - air system, not far...yet

Here are pictures of my progress so far. I only get a couple hours a week, so it will be
a while before this thing is driving again. I am hoping by the end of May, we'll see if that really happens.
Anyway I have two tanks, a two gallon up front and a three gallon in the rear. The tanks will be tied together with a 1/2 line. Up front the valves are mounted to the tank. In the rear they will be mounted to the rear crossmember.
I am using Parker DOT compression fittings. I read a lot about the Parker Pushloks and the compression and decided to go with these. They are spendy, so far I have $280 into them. I bought them at www.hoseandfittings.com.
I bought my valves, plates, and guages from *****************. I am going with Slam Specialties bags, the RS72's. I have a York compressor that will be supplying the air.

The first picture is the front tank and valves. They are mounted behind the bumper. The top middle fitting on the tank is the supply, the one right of that is the blowoff valve, and the one to the left is the guage line.

The second picture is the water seperator and switch. There is also a coupler so I can run an air tool if needed, and it will also serve as the emergency fill. The third picture shows the emergency fill hooked up.

The fourth picture is one of the rear valves set up on it's mounting plate. The fifth picture is another angle of the same set-up.
