This photo was taken from the front and shows the steering gear and the empty engine compartment.	Notice in this photo how the metal is cut, shaped and welded back together. This method provides exact replacement of the rusted out framework.
Don is demonstrating how the screw-gear mechanism works that lifts the large display doors.	This door has been completely finished. It was installed in the frame to see if it would fit and it fits perfectly. Yes, the Futurliner will be painted red!
