Vance,
He is obviously in an area that either has an overabundance of machinists, or
an area that has very few machine shops and does not need any machinists. A
pay of $7.21 per hour is more like what custodial helpers get elsewhere.

The roof is part of the cab side etching. Your proposal would involve some
surgery to cut the top off, cleaning the edges, repainting, as well as
coming up with a new method of attaching the roof. Nothing insurmountable

Walt,
I figured you had probably tried this, but I suggested it just in case!
Looks like you'll need a little fellow to crawl thru the whole dam affair
