John, you gonna have all the markings and the red crosses put back on that goat prior to Aberdeen? I remember you said it was the ambulance version of the goat...

Is that Spuds McKenzie on the tailgate Very nice Goat. What color paint did you use?

Mike I dont know if I will have all the markings on in time, I also am still tring to track down some of the heater parts. Marcus I used 24087 paint and My puppy was making it tough to paint he keeped wanting to get in the back.

I have an extra insulated ambulance rear carrier cover(like new), that I would love to trade for a plain rear cover. I have set up mine as a communication model, and don't need this. If anyone has a regular one, vinyl I think, and wants to trade, I am going to Lodi for the show.

Good Goat Day

While after spending two days tring to get the brake drums on.I wound out the the stub shafts were bad. I had some extra so after a little more work switched out and the drums went on. Took it for the frist ride around the yard and also tested out the blige pump. While I guess it cant that bad this was the first set through the whole rebuild.

That's great John. It's great to see the bilge pump spewing water again after all those years. Looks like you'll have it done just in time for Aberdeen!

Nice job John! I see the dog is if the first photo too...is that quality control??
Any plans to swim? Looks like you don't have to go very far.JimK

I love the remains of the recent "April showers" we had here in the background in the pics. Looks like some cold water coming out of the bilge. Looking like it's getting close to being finished.

Thanks everyone after the brake drum problem I was ready to push it in to the pond 17 feet deep. Jim K I would like to try it in the pond if I can get the guts to try it, might wait till after Aberdeen. Dave I need to call you this week so we can talk about some decals.
