you might ask him to put a few more clips on the beltline body molding. I have the Aveco number of them. the GM style that use the pegs not the rambler ones that drive in. got the number for the rivets and a nose piece for the Morrison pop rivet gun to put the pegs in. the mail goes both ways. here is what the 73 S&S looked like without the trim on. you can see they have a clip about every 6 inches little over kill but they stay on. the noise piece spaces the rivet up to the right height to slide the GM clips over. S&S used the standard GM method rather the the pound in ones the rest did. once the molding is on who can tell

Thanks Ed and will discuss with him.....
Yippee.... I just got the call that I can pick the Lifeliner up this weekend. I had the plugs changed, changed the oil, and replaced the fuel pump due to a leak. It has to wait another week since I'm at MECUM saturday and need to be back here Sunday for two burials.
My goal is to pick her up, take home and re-install just the necessary lighting and clean her up enough to drive to Brandon. I'll store her in the cemetery garage and as time allows get her back to her glory days.

I saw the Lifeliner yesterday and she looks awesome. While chekcing her out Joe said he thinks something is wrong with the "Q". He said when you hit the brake it grinds. So we tested her out and what we found was I gave him the wrong mount which was a flat mount and it needs the angled mount.
Being fixed and "I will be picking her up this Saturday".

can't wait to see it back together again.
Is this being restored as original, with no lights on the top of the raised roof?
Going back to the way it came from the factory as ordered per the owner. The beacons where mounted there as well as the rear loading lights on the side due to a low car port at the funeral home. I will not however, re-install the air horns but toying with the idea of mounting one air horn under the hood adding in an air pump. Sunday my son and I filled the compressor and was playing with the air horn. Very loud.....
So-o-o-o...you're saying that nothing will go on the raised portion of the roof, as originally ordered? Great - glad to hear it!
I guess I got my roofs switched. I will be re-installing a top beacon and the MARS 888 light up there.

now thats nice. did you make the top light demountable? if it is that way you bend the load light in the rear flat and take the center beacom off it will just slide under a 7 foot door.
I should have thought of that.

what I did on the 72 olds was made a flat plate for the three studs that sat level with the roof ad just off . then mounted a base on the three studs on the light with a set of magnets. then spaced everything out so that when the lights was on the car it road just off the roof on the plate. then wired a quick disconnect with hot and ground. put a ring on the plate and a safety chain and clip on the light. a icecream bucket works good for the light when it's off toss a couple wash rags in the bottom and turn the light up side down. set that in a box. just don't forget the load lights. will you'll only do that once. that setup worked good for me. as there was not a zipper in the headliner I could not run the bolt down thru. then on this one I hst belted the light to the jump seat to keep it safe
