Mr. & Mrs. mdmorgan:

Yours is an impressive "total" restoration and it should pay off for years to come. It's also wonderful that you're both putting your service training (and our tax dollars) to VERY good personal use.



Please keep us posted (as you already have) on the resurrection of that beautiful beast.

Well it had water saturated fiberglass but its long gone to the dump, i'm going to have spray foam insulation put back in to help seal everything up and to help with sound proofing, plus its just a way better insulator than anything out there.

Got cold again so all we managed to do was get the block-off plates done and bolted down. Pulling those diffs opened up so much more room, fitting some water tanks between the frame should be alot easier now.

MDMorgan, Any updates on this project?

 

[SGTStewart]

I see alot of pictures of your wife working. I you helped out once in awhile it might get done faster.It looks good though. Hope mine never gets that bad. Knock on wood.

Now I know where MD is storing all his LOOT

Yeah - why is your wife the only one working

 

[mdmorgan]

Much needed update. got a lot of pics coming.

Got frame cut, tongue installed, ribs repaired, and a bunch of other little things that needed to be done. We worked mostly at night after we got off work due to the heat, we are almost ready to start drilling up the new sheetmetal, hopefully that will go pretty quick.

Oh and the pics of the wife working are to make you guys jealous!


Well i was going to post pics but i have been waiting for an hour now for them to upload so i'll try again tomorrow.

 

[zout]

MD - your wife and yourself are doing an awesome piece of work the unit. Cannot wait to see more pics as you go along.

 

[mdmorgan]

[mdmorgan]
