TAC plate signwriting has finally been delivered. This evening I painted the red background of the 'unit' side, cooked it for 15 min with a hand held floodlamp, brought it inside and applied the unit numbering.

Tomorrow I will paint the other side of plate & plate holder in vehicle color, and plan to apply the PASS lettering tomorrow night. Working on a way of eliminating abrasion between plate and holder when the plate is moved in/out. I have a 'cunning plan' though it may turn to night soil.

Bought an airbrush yesterday, for painting of light scratches and anything 'new'.....bolts etc..

While in town tomorrow, i'll be calling in on the local wrecking yard, in search of suitable rubber bumpers for the bonnet to rest on.
