Removed steel fenders, cab side skirting last week, next power up elec' system + air, check all circuits, servos, solenoids. Then I can remove wiring
Harness & airline / system + cab so I can box frame rails, restore, paint driveline & frame

The Tatra landed & cleared customs Nov' last year, until last week it remain in storage just south of Baltimore. Had to buy a tow vehicle GMC dually & borrowed my bosses 25K GN BigTex, got side tracked with Ducati Superbike this summer so partly my fault on delay. I purchased NOS Hutchinson...
