The Futurliner is now inside the Valley Truck shop where they will do the remaining body work and put the finish coat of paint on. Here the vehicle has just been parked and a few of the men are standing around.
Conversations take place with the men who will be working on the project.	Don Mayton goes over some finer points with one of the workers.
Ladders are positioned around the Futurliner so the body men can reach the top.	The Futurliner looks pretty vulnerable and forlorn at this stage but she will look great when she emerges.
	We're set to go with the final body and paint work.
