Got the all the pieces to the aerial mast, both gas tanks, spare tire holder and tool boxes back from the painter and installed them this past week.

Having ordered the paint a numer of times the finish on some parts has more gloss than on others so have made plans to have the whole truck sprayed one last time. It appears that there was not a consistent measure of hardener added to the various batches.

Before that's done, however, we need to have the bows made. Emailed the drawings we prepared last week to the metal fabricator today. Hopefully that won't be a time-consuming job for him to do.

Will be contacting a local tent and awning company this week to see about the canvas for the cover.

Below are some pictures of the completed work.
