CABOOSE PROJECT
While I'm waiting for the Thunderbird to go to Hackbeery Auto Body for the engine compartment to be painted, that should be next week, I will work on the Caboose project. We have picked out a color for the T-Bird that is "Blazin Copper" or burnt orange. After the engine compartment is painted it will come back to me for the engine installation and to get it running then back to the body shop for final body work and paint.
The three pictures below is the retaining wall being built that is 2 feet tall and 40 feet long.
Next the grading will be finished then the 10 foundation's will be laid out, dug and poured with the steel frame. The plan is to have the finished floor at the same height as the top of the wall to make easy access to the caboose for Karen.
