I am taking my digital camera but not a video cam.
I'll have my laptop with me and I enourage anyone that makes video or still pics to load them on my hard drive.
One of the professors in the Communicatons department at Jacksonville State is going to help me make a video of the hardball...
My buddy that's working at GL Shelby tells me that if you can get to the brake drums (trucks with super singles) you can apply a judicious beating with a BFH to get them to turn loose....the trucks with duals are harder to deal with.
If he gets a shot at Clinto's leg again it'll be mating season.rofl
As you know Elmo is still morning over the loss of "Heidi the Cross Eyed Possum" the object of his long distance affection.
He will probably spend some time out in the GA woods looking for trim.
I may put out some live...
I'm bringing three HETT bumpers if anyone is interested in a custom fab job.....they went on the front of the HETT but they might make an interesting rear bumper on a bob job.
I mashed the crap out of my foot loading them :roll: so they are on a slow boat to China if they don't sell.

You would have to stretch the frame to do it but that is not too hard if you have some spare frame and the fab skills to pull it off.
To the original poster I...
Yea.....having first option on it is like having first option on the Queen Mary.
If she offered it to me at scrap price (around 9K here) I'd have to take out a second mortgage (and prob would).
My next problem would be moving it.....the M915 might pull it....but it would not like it.
I found this the other day.
Background story. I had heard about this tank last year and made a vain attempt to find it....no luck.
Since I was in the neighborhood I decided to scope for it again....asked some guys reading water meters if they knew about a tank sitting in front of a house...
