Another Update on Jacksonville's New Engine 473
January 8th, 2010
JVFC received another weekly update on the new engine from Pierce on Friday. This week the cab completed fabrication and was transferred off-site for the application of a Linex coating on the interior. Fabrication of the pump house has begun and the body panels are in the process of being welded. Next week the cab should be back on-site to complete the paint process. The pump house should continue in fabrication and the body panels should be merged as fabrication of the body continues. The next update on Friday, January 15th should really show the engine coming together. The anticipated completion and final inspection is still set for around Valentine’s Day.
