Just a few pix of continuing progress. Decals are computer generated and ALPS printed. A bit of a pain process as there were either little things that did not print correctly, the decals got marred or I just plain messed up the process. Hardest time I think I have ever had getting them to go where they were supposed to. Nevertheless they are there. And other work can now proceed.

Things keep moving along. It's all in the details now. Little things that make the difference. Top brush bars are done, a couple of red lights added, hand rails. Next is to plumb up the hose reel on the top deck. First was to build up the top bars with brass rod, solder the pieces in place and then remove the whole thing for painting.

Pins in the ends of each rod and locator holes in the lower bars and on top of the body helped put the top bar assembly back in the same place.

Been working on last minute details the past few days and can finally say it is done. Just one last thing and that will be to add a cooler with ice and some cold drinks for the area behind the cab. Got to keep the crew refreshed, right??
