Wally Snow makes an adjustment to the GM letters that adorn the front of the Futurliner. These letters were re-created from scratch. The originals probably adorn someone's wall in their den. Wally worked at measuring the large "GM" letters for their proper mounting position in the front of the Futurliner. Although he could find the old mounting places on the inside of the Futurliner the new letters mounting locations did not match up. He had to drill and relocate the mounting position.


Don Mayton and Wally Snow pose for a photograph to show where the big GM letters will be permanently mounted after the Futurliner is painted.


Bud Dinger looks over the scaffolding that was procured to work on the higher reaches of the Futurliner.


Ed DeVries brought back the aluminum cast grill that his son Ryan worked on. The bottom bar was so badly bent that Ryan cut it out, fabricated a new one and then had Sparta Sheet Metal weld it in place. Together they did a beautiful job. Except for polishing, it looks like new.
