Don Feutz and Art Meidema wet-sand the re-painted 16' doors of the Futurliner.  They started with 1,000 grit paper and then 1200 grit paper.

Ron Elzinga, using rubbing compound, wheeled out the doors for a  a mirror-like shine.

Dick Saddler and Marty Reed continue to fabricate panels for the left inside of the cab. Warren returned five upholstered panels and Wally Snow has started to gather up the pieces that enclose the driver's area under the instrument panel where all the electrical wiring is located.

Jim Baker continues to fine tune the rear door weather seal area. He has made this area a lot tighter than the original design.
 
The 6x6 truck frame is at Del Carpenter's place for restoration. This will carry a display when the Futurliner goes to a show.

Del is also redoing the dual hubs for the trailer.

Del spraying some parts at this shop. Note the blanket of snow outside the windows.

Parts are left to dry.
