Status

Don is holding a piece of the rubber bumper against the frame with his knee. This is heavy-duty rubber and it all needs to be replaced or re-manufactured. If you know of any out there or can provide the manufacturing of the rubber, please let us know.

GM mentioned the bumpers in their press release material by stating, "Front and rear protection is given by steel covered with rubber."

Rubber Rail Material The Futurliner also has a rubber rail running around the base of the body. This is a rubber stip an inch thick and 31/2 inches wide.

The rail material has already been acquired and is neatly wrapped up and stored in the pole barn awaiting installation.
