These are part of the lighting fin. They hold the florescent
lights that helped illuminate the show grounds at night. |
Ron and Ed finished the outer surface of the lighting fin. They
then transferred it from our Futurliner building to the shop at
the other end of the storage building. There, at the end of the
day, Connie primed the lighting fin along with the two aluminum
arms that raise the fin above the Futurliner. Next Connie painted
the final "silver" on these two aluminum arms.

Ed,
Ron and Phil managed to cut, burn and saw out the rusted bolts
that were holding the large aluminum arms to the lighting fin.
Once they removed them, then the process was started to clean up
the lighting fin, grind and sand away all old paint, and start the
repairs. The lighting fin is covered in aluminum and we are
fortunate that very little corrosion has taken place. We will have
to make repairs caused by external damage plus make and install
new pins and bushings that allowed the fin to be raised. |
Ron Elzinga and Ed DeVries work on the lighting fin. It looks like
Ed is cutting out some metal while Ron run the pry bar. |
