Restoration

It was December of 1998 when Fire 32 returned to Portland, Oregon where it all started. Plenty of time has passed since then, and the truck is still not restored. That certainly does not mean that nothing has happened, quite the contrary.


Would you like to help restore Fire 32?

Like any large project, it can't be done by one person. If you would like to help get Fire 32 completely restored and back on the road, please let me know. Whether you would like to make a financial contribution or you would like to offer your skills and expertise in vehicle restoration, just let me know. Send me an e-mail and let me know how you would like to contribute to this project. The work is being done in Vancouver, Washington.

Below are links leading to the restoration process of Fire 32. I wish I had kept a running log of everything that has occurred over the past 10 years, but this will help bring it all together.
