This is a good representative picture of how the Futurliner looked as of January 2002. This picture was taken in December and we had yet to get any deep snow. Don Mayton and Del Carpenter wanted to do some sand blasting on the interior of the Futurliner at the rear of the back. In addition some smaller parts had to be done. When sandblasting, no other work can be done and, it is a messy job. Del and Don rolled the Futurliner out of the barn for this job. Just getting the Futurliner out of the barn took an 1-1/2 hours worth of work. Del had trailered over his diesel powered air compressor with his professional grade sand blaster. The sand blasting was completed quite quickly but getting the Futurliner back into the barn took over an hour. To move the Futurliner without power, a come-along and chain and chain is used..

A big thank you to Dave's Custom Sandblasting for all the work on these big sections.
