1954 Maxim 750 Pumper

[Chariots of Fire]

We are continuing to add details.  This time the windshield wipers are done, rear handrails are on, ladder brackets and ladders are in place.  Also the extinguisher and axe have been mounted.  The cross mounted railings at the rear are temporarily in place.  It will be much easier to load the hose and covers with them out of the way.  Once all that is done the railings will be mounted permanently.

We're closing in on the last details of this build.  Except for completing the hose load on the right side and making up a cover and small hose load over the walkway to the rear of the cab we are done.  So here are some photos of the building progress to date.  That little gadget in front in the first photo is the "Official Door Opener".  Instead of using a finger or tweezers to open the doors and taking a chance on marring the paint you can use the opener.  I decided to fancy it up a bit with an eagle on top and some gold leaf trim.
