Great work!

I really like the roller shutters. Very good idea and very well done!

My congratulation to this unique vehicle.

Wow Ben! That is amazing.

The roller shutters look fantastic, and the truck overall is beautiful. I am awed by how much equipment you can carry in that thing - seems your first responders will be ready for anything! Congrats on a wonderful custom!

A constructional question, Ben.

Where you've used clips to hold on the ladder and the floodlights, have you drilled the roof and pegged the clip in, or cut off the base of the clip and glued the clip on?

If glue, what type did you use, please?

(Actually, two constructional questions.)

Hey Captian Henry,  :wave:

Thanks for your comments. That was my goal, to have all the equipment for first responders on one truck. Thank you

Gordon - I didn't know if there would be enough space for the roller doors to function if i drilled holes in the roof, so I cut the base of of the clips and glued them on. As for the glue, Its MAXI-CURE extra thick glue (cyanoacrylate). Its rather inexpensive and dries extremely quick. So far I have had no problems with the parts coming unglued

Thanks, Ben.  I do the same - cut off the base and then glue.  However, I use two-pack quick drying epoxy as the bit can be taken off if things go wrong and the remains of any glue removed.

Hey Gordon,

I used a 2 part epoxy to glue the rest of the truck together, it was almost out when it was time to glue the clips on. I used the other glue for times sake, and hoped I would like it when it was all done  :).
