Shoot me but I had to do it..

Well, Brothers. It has been awhile. I spend a lot of time on FB, and looking back this is still a GREAT site. As for the Pomona CF, it has sat for awhile.  With my quick divorce that took over 3 years (B***h), and the fact that the rig sat since I had it, I was going to sell it and give it to someone who could do the right thing. Well, a few weeks ago I get pic of the rig finally being worked on. Beggars cant be choosers, and with parts and labor worked off in emergency vehicle drop off and delivery, the last thing I would ever do is complain. The paint is shot on the officers side, but to appease people (can't say names, but it rhymes with '1958FWD'..lol. Was told I have to remove everything for blasting if needed, but another buff (and a FDNY EMS MOS) had his rig done with plastic media and left everything on. I'll investigate. Tires were purchased (radial ply, ARE YOU HAPPY, RANDY??? LOL) for $2100, all fluids and filters changed, new batteries (used but MINT condition), engine stop adjusted and a few minor things will be done.

 

While never good with tools. its time to buy some. The B & M siren will be removed and polished out, and sent to CA for repair if needed. I looked under the Boss' seat and found a route book. I'd like to find out how long it was in service to date the book. I haven't decided to letter it Pomona, but I have the pics of the outlines to redo should I go that way. Found indoor storage upstate since I am looking to move there, and I hope to have it out for a few shows, repainted or not. Still need a Hannay top mount twin booster reel and that damned Carpenter rear flasher. Ill post pics later.

 

Stay safe, Brothers.
