Chama work session

[Sharon Evans]

I have received a few pictures of the work being done on the stock car in Chama. John Cole forwarded these pictures of Bill Locks Chama crew to me. I do not know who actually took them but a big thank you for that. John told me that once they were finished today, Friday, the car would be recovered and moved to a secure location. Probably not the swamp since John said it was waterlogged and unsafe to move into at this time.

Looking down the length of the 5691 we can see how much new framing was put in place

Drilling into the top frame also showing the cross bracing as well as the temporary strap support on the end.
