Art and Connie inspect damage to front bumper from a trailer unloading error.

    In unloading the Futurliner from our special trailer we have discovered a hard lesson. The trailer has to be on a level surface and not blocked for any road conditions. The fit of the Futurliner on this trailer is very close. In one of the unloading sessions the front center of the rubber was damaged. Connie made a temporary repair for our summer shows back in May. Today Connie and Art began a permanent repair.

At Del Carpenter's shop construction continues on the display trailer. This will be towed to shows to display the inner workings of the engine/drive train. The display will also provide electrical power for the Futurliner lights.

Del is fabricating the exhaust system for the engine.

Close up of some of the work that Del and his crew are doing on the display trailer. The brackets that outline the display will have a covering to protect the display from the elements when not in use.

The large silver tank in the picture is the gas tank.

Here is a picture of the control panel that will regulate the electricity.

Del checks the clearance from the rear.
