Awesome stuff Jim


You've made a lot of progress! The model is pretty cool


Bobby

 

Thanks Harrier, Yes, there will be art work. I have met with the artist a few times and he is putting together some renderings.


Thanks Abe and Bobby. Yes Abe, aware of the dome light. New original style was around $40. This one was LED and I may keep it. We will see when I have the roof liner installed. ( Possible next year ) We have a priority and want list going. I'm retired now, so the want list gets a little longer then the priority list.

 

Jim, here is a good used one on eBay for $20. All you need to do is sand it and repaint it that silver color Ford used on the interior pieces. Shipping is reasonable too.

Thanks Abe, May look into it

 

Jim, the truck is really looking good. Congrats!

 

Thanks Keith. Just wrapping it up. Waiting for the glass guy to come back an also the artist for the lettering. While I am waiting , I will start the layout for the seating in the bed.


Then we will wait for some car shows or what ever.

 

 

Very nice!

 

The benches came out really nice
That will be great for parades!


Once again, well done
Bobby

 

Thanks Bobby and Harrier

 

Jim,

Nice job on the benches! The kids are going to have a blast in the parades.

 

Meeting tomorrow evening to sign off on the artwork for the truck. Very exciting. Will post pictures when finished. Should be within the next month.

 

You big tease!!


LOL, I can't wait to see it

 

Yea Bobby. I can hardly wait myself. In the mean time, Going to try and hit the scales to see what it actually weighs. Hagerty Ins will flatbed it the first 15 miles if it weighs less then 10000 lbs. I have no idea what it weighs, but would like to know.

 

Misty Creek is the development we live in. Hebron is our little town. 1075 was the call letters of the first truck when I joind the FD in 1965










This is in memory of my very good friend and buddy and all those who did not make it back home on 9/11
