Rory welcomed us whole heartedly, offering his house as ours and insisting we drive his FJ instead of our lumbering Dodge pickup. We imposed on him for three weeks while we parked the Ship smack dab in the middle of his driveway preventing him from putting his vehicles in the shop. We had custom sheet metal cut and bent at Krueger’s, the shop in Spokane I used while in the business; we used this metal to replace the corrugated siding on the front and to secure the front wall to the frame, so it couldn’t jump around anymore.
Rebuilding the front end; it’s solid now!
