Al Scholten had a guy from Holland come out and put some lettering on our Lowboy since we do not have a sponsor yet. If we do get a sponsor, we can placard over the lettering. I had to see it to believe it. He HAND PAINTED it with about a 1" wide brush. It looks decal-perfect. It should be an eye-catcher on the road this summer as it goes to shows.

This is a view of the back of the trailer with the Futurliner on it. The Futurliner is hauled facing backwards on the trailer.

These pictures of the display trailer were taken in Del Carpenter's storage barn. The display trailer features a number of components that are used on the Futurliner.

The "ribbing" is for a canvas covering to hold off the elements. While the trailer looks like a big dragster it actually has a set of dual hubs and wheels that are used on the Futurliner.

The display trailer has a spare engine that will fit in the Futurliner if needed. In this state is will power a rather large 110 volt generator.

This picture shows the engine and the operating panel.

This is a close up of the operating panel.

This picture shows the large generator, hooked to the engine, mounted on the back of the trailer.
