Dawn Diesel Delivery




It was just breaking daylight when Werner left for Aggressive Tube Bending in Surrey. In the back of "ThunderTruck" was the little Cummins and the heavy duty diesel Dodge 4 speed automatic transmission. When we arrived at the shop, Yuri and Kevin were waiting to get started. By the time we got ready to unload the power train, Andrey and (new guy) Roland were geared up and ready to roll. Kevin was right on top of the laptop checking measurements and design drawing that he made working very late last night. Andrey was welding as usual and Roland was helping Werner get the front drive in place. Yuri and I got steel down from the racks and he cut several lengths for the power frame. The engine was attached to the transmission and then set in to position in the chassis to make final checks and prove the draws were correct (as usual with Kevin, he is always thinking ahead). He is now working on the Canopy hinges and dash board. It was a very productive day thanks to the hard work and dedication of the team. Thanks guys!
