When I was a kid and those things first came out, I remember they were called "Jersey Barriers" here on the east coast. Then I was hitchhiking some cross-country, and got a kick out of how the exact same things were all referred to as "Denver Barriers" when you got out west.

Welcome from Virginia.

I wonder what it was about WWII Germany that gave them all that initial edge in aeronautical/ rocket technology. I'm guessing it was just the genius of von Braun (the house where he lived in the U.S. after WWII is just a few blocks from my house here). But I wonder if there was more to it than...

That's one that definitely snuck under the wire; first I ever heard of it either.

That's a nice rig; is it your first MV?

The good news is, you asked the right question in the right place. The bad news is: - Nothing!

Good luck with that, Assel. [thumbzup]:beer:

That adds up too 17-1/2 tons of hauling power. Might need more iron to round off that pesky half. :mrgreen::beer:

A first post; and a nice pic, too! Welcome, from Virginia.

That's good looking oak. [thumbzup] If you don't know it already, it's never a bad idea to wear gloves when working with rough-sawn oak like that. It's great material, but you can pick up some nasty splinters from the stuff. (Full disclosure: I did summer work as a kid, building and...

Yeah, that's sharp, nice job. [thumbzup]

Sounds like a rough neighborhood. :naner::beer:

There's a great story! Do you know what the aircraft was that he got?

You're not kidding "big and chunky", it looks like something you'd see as an accessory on rolling armor inserted of only a truck. It looks real fine. Is that made of 5/8" or maybe even 3/4" plate?

Smooth. It's all looking so good! Sweet.

Your truck looks real good. It's a great tribute to all the men of the gun trucks. God bless them all. Amen
