Mary Ray sent me some photos of her latest project on her 85 Command Center.

The doctor has arrived:



Donor organs, complete with some of MY DNA, I'm sure!





Getting closer!



It won't be long and she'll be on the road! Bravo, Mary Ray and friends! mechanic Tooling Along

Had to close up shop due to rain, wet under there!! Motor is in and a few more small things left to do. Hopefully she will be ready to test crank tomorrow. Will need to drop and clean tank so she won't be ready for the road until next week.
