Paul has completed 15 of the last 20 holes for the running lights that are at the bottom of the Futurliner. The last 5 will done when that portion of the rubber trim is in place.

By the end of Tuesday the remaining trim to be done was the left front door and the left rear 1/4 of the Futurliner.

    Ed had several crews working to install the aluminum siding. I know I will miss some of the names working with Ed but here goes: Ed, Tom, John, Steve, Chuck, Don, Ron, Ken and Wes. By the end of Tuesday the remaining trim to be done was the left front door and the left rear 1/4 of the Futurliner.

    Art, working at home, completed the hubcap that was donated by the Peter Pan Bus company. Today, final wet sanding was done using 600 grit paper. Next week, the final buffing will be completed.

    Art and Connie completed all the repairs on the front bumper and have it in final primer. They also worked installing the right rear section of the rear bumper. Jim continues to fabricate the missing rear bumper section.

Chuck Ballard drove two days on his motorcycle, in driving rain and high winds (gusts here in Western Michigan of 55 mph) from Syracuse, NY. He then pitched his tent Sunday at the Holland State park on Lake Michigan. Then on Monday, broke camp and showed up here and worked all day with the rest of the volunteers. After the work session on Monday, he started his two day trip back to New York. Thanks Chuck.
