What is the blue handled "plier"?
The blue handled bender is from Eastwood, it allows you to make sharp bends at the end of your fitting.

Interesting you're able to spray with a passive dryer. I thought an active dryer system was needed.
It works if you are careful. I bake the desiccant (300 degrees for 30 minutes) to remove all of the moisture before any critical painting. I also pause my painting when the compressor runs. This gives moisture time to settle to the bottom of the tank instead of going right out the air hose. I need to get one of those automatic drain devices that drains the tank every time the compressor starts up.

I finally got the body back on the frame. I raised the body using the engine hoists that I have at each end of the car. I then put woods blocks under the home made saw horses raising the body 30 inches off the ground. I then disconnected the front engine hoist and moved it out of the way. Next roll the frame under the body, reconnect the front engine hoist to the front of the car, lift the body up enough to remove the saw horses and then lower the body onto the frame. About 2 hours of work all total. It took another hour to center the body on the frame.
