This is the center section of the Futurliner looking to the rear. Quite a bit of this metal is badly rusted and has been replaced. The compartments were used for storage areas. Volunteer, Connie DeJong uses a hammer and chisel to remove rusted bolts.

Del Carpenter is working at taking the drive shaft apart at a U-joint near the rear of the vehicle. That's a hammer in his right hand as he tries to convince the rust to let go of the parts. The volunteers used hammers, chisels and cutting torches nearly as often as they used wrenches.

Here is a picture of the left rear of the Futurliner. At the forefront of the picture is one of two gear-motors that open and close the 16'exhibit doors. Behind this gear motor is one of two 45 gallon gasoline tanks.

This photo is a little more squared off than the  photo to the left. It shows the fill spout for the gas tank and just below it is the gear motor that lifts the large exhibit door. It's called a gear-motor because it turns a long screw-type gear that opens the exhibit door.

This is the engine bay with the engine and transmission removed. The view is from the front of the Futurliner looking back.

The Hydramatic transmission hung in this vacancy. The louvered area, in the background, is the battery box. The springs are for the front suspension.
