Previously a long (16') wood rolling platform was constructed to allow the large 16' doors to be placed on them in order to work on the doors. Since this platform is not being used it was very difficult to move as well as to store. However, we will need this platform to work on the internal light bars (they are 16' long). Howard and Paul took this platform, cut it in two sections, each 8' long, reinforced each section, added casters and now we have two 8' long rolling platforms that can be used individually or clamped together and used as one 16' platform. After doing this they worked with others on their projects.

16' rolling platform is cut in half so that they could be stored easier. Together, the platforms will be used as a workbench for the restoration of the internal light bars.

Ed DeVries get some measurements from the internal light housing that mounts just under the bottom edge of the top gull-wing side door.

Paul Prinzing and Howard Sullivan begin the process of taking the light housing apart and restoring the components.
