    Wally Snow checks out some of the electrical wiring before installing in the Futurliner.

    Wally Snow holds the aluminum grill trim that Marge Carpenter polished. The assemblies had to be disassembled, sanded and then Marge spent hours buffing each individual piece. They look like jewelry.

    We received an original lighting fin with plastic lens that read "PARADE OF PROGRESS" from a parts shipment from a California Futurliner. With this original plastic lens and with new material supplied by John Wiltjer, Bud Dinger (pictured) spent a week at his son's company finding a way to print onto the new plastic, "PARADE OF PROGRESS", using a font almost identical to the original.

   Not sure what Dick, Art and Marty are up to -- maybe they just wanted their picture framed?
