Another great looking Maxim. Good luck with it and keep us posted on the truck.

Nice looking rig! You gonna get rid of that light bar and put an older gumball machine on the top?

[Guest]

Very nice. I've always liked that style Maxim. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />

I may eventually remove the lightbar, but it is not a priority. The hole from the gumball ahs been filled, so it would involve drilling again, and also filling the lightbar holes. Right now my focus is remounting the deckgun on the roof, repainting the diamond plate, replacing the lights on the rear as they don't match, and getting the Federal Q to work (I think its a cellunoid ..spellling?) here is another picture of it in storage with my other toy.

Looks good Doug, will we be seeing it in Lynnfield?

[Citywide 231]

Yes god willing. I still want to get the deck gun mounted, and replace the lights on the back. My biggest problem is the Q siren won't work. The siren itself is fine, we jumped it and it works, but somewhere there is a connection thats not making it between the switch and the sollonoid. We thought it was the sollonoid so we replaced it, but thats not it. It's driving me nuts.

Anytime Doug. When are we gonna see your other truck?

[Citywide 231]

Iam thinking about selling it actually, with the old gas engine it is tough to maintain, and it needs some work. If you wanna see, you can come up to the hanger anytime you want. I have to go up again tommorow actually.
