This door is now on work horses where Connie and Art are repairing all the imperfections. At the end of the work session they were applying the primer.	Del installs a seal.
Dick works on a mirror while Ed and Don install seals.	Stan works at removing and cleaning more parts off of the dual front wheel axle in preparation for building the display trailer.
Tom Kuhlman, along with a friend, has cut this frame from the Army truck that he donated, loaded it on his trailer and today has now transported it to our work site. We are going to make a display trailer to show case the drive train of the Futurliner. Most folks when they take their restored car or truck to a show open the hood to folks to see. The Futurliner's engine and transmission are buried in a deep dark cave between two huge frame rails. It simply cannot be seen. We are taking our spare 6 cylinder inline OHV engine along with its military Hydramatic transmission and the rear transmission and mounting them on a trailer. The trailer axle will consist of the spare dual front axle which will have the front section of a GMC Korean war army truck frame. Del along with Stan will be the crew that creates this show piece.	After the full frame arrived today Del, Stan, Al B. and Tom headed to Del's house to unload it with his tractor using the hydraulic bucket.
