At this point everything is starting to come together on the front ad rear, got the rear access doors in place.

This project had several hard deadlines for places it had to be. At this point I was behind schedule and the customer needed to pick it up ASAP, as he needed to take it to Las Vegas for a show to sell his products out of.

He made the decision to put on temporary roof radiuses, and roof corners to make it out there. So after another marathon shift....



It gets loaded on the trailer at 4 am sunday to go to the shop that has been preparing the chassis.



Sunday morning sunrise delivery at the chassis shop where they were waiting for it to show up.

Not fun when up against a tight deadline!
Great effort to get that all done.

deadlines = no fun.
Long slogs = fumble fingers.
Don't quit, keep going.
Nice looking rig. Great to see.
Kudos.

Default Congrats!

Another excellent choice by the administrators.

Keep this up, and you won't have enough room for all the MSOTM designations.
