Got the lights mounted up in back, she's looking sharp!

And made a new unit number tag for it, even bought a vintage label maker to get the font close. It's not 100%, but it's extremely close.

That's awesome!
Where did you find the dymo tape?

I was unsuccessful finding the NMO mount for the antenna. I'll see if the one on the Louisiana car will work.

I had the dymo tape (black) out of a new embosser from walmart, but the font was waaaay wrong. So I bought an old one on ebay and the new black tape worked perfectly!

Thanks for the help on the NMO mount! Let me know what you find!

I guess there were many of these Dymo labels used on different departments too... maybe you might have found a niche for that old label maker! I know that Idaho mounted their property tags on the instrument cluster area... I got to go find mine if it's upstairs or something!

He's right!
I'll take a new one!

How much?

What about the property tag? I wonder if it can be reproduced?

ChrisL · #**137** 10-19-2011, 04:43 PM

Ted, I'll just send you one!

texunter · #**138** 10-19-2011, 08:49 PM

Thanks Chris!
