Lanse just find and buy a used Curtis or Quincy two stage commercial compressor. I have bought two good ones in the last year for under $400. One way is to buy a 3 phase compressor and replace the motor with a single phase one. The 3 phase compressors usually sell cheaper than single phase ones.
You have been buying residential grade compressors. Buy a commercial grade two stage compressor and be done with it.
As for your car motor compressor. You can do it BUTTTTT they usually take higher horse power to turn them than normal compressors. You also need to adapt a cooling system too. The act of compressing the air will generate heat. The car motor is not design to dissipate that heat so you will need the cooling system working.
The conversions I have seen are usually for LARGE CFM compressors. I mean in the 30-40 CFM size. That usually also means 20-30 horse power electric motors turning them.

This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
