RESTORATION BEGINS

The Tuesday work crew pushes and pulls the Futurliner out of the barn so they can work on disassembling it for restoration.	Ed DeVries, one of the volunteers trailered his hi-low over so they could work on the removing the upper doors and lightbar assemblies.
The exhibit doors on the left side have been removed and right hand side remains to be done.	The hi-low comes in handy as a work platform for the roof area. The roof was rusted so badly that walking on it wasn't possible.
Lightbar is removed from roof.	Aerial view of the roof where the lightbar retracted when not in use.
