Gun Truck Brutus.

[bigmike]

looking good and nice attention to detail. I'm getting ready to re-start the wrecker build. I still have the wrecker story you sent me.

Jeff, Ron (Black Widow) and I were talking a few minutes ago on the phone and if we can get your "Brutus" and Brandon's "Justifier" down here we have a shot at having 10 replica/tribute Guntrucks in one place at the same time. That has been done only once since Vietnam...at Pigeon Forge, TN.

JATONKA promised if I brought Proud to PA he would bring Aces and Eights down here, and as far as I know he plans to. Ron has enlisted a crew of Marine pilots to help him drive Black Widow up.

The plans are taking shape and I'm getting excited.

If you can get "Brutus" down here, I/we will be sure you get some help with fuel money etc. I can also help with a crash pad if you wanna sleep in my raggedy ole camper and you can shower in the truck shop...or the camper. It also has a stove, fridge, AC...etc.

Just some stuff to think about...motivation wise.

Here is a quick update. Not going to say a lot but progress is made. The engine panel is a test of the color shade for the gun box.

Jeff, one of the guys at the Gathering this year mentioned he and some others were going to try and build Brutus. I didn't get his name or location because I was being grabbed and pulled in four directions at once and I had forgotten you were doing this truck.

Do you have some sorta group helping with this or are these guys totally separate?

I'm sorry Brother...I wish I had gotten a name or SOME kind of information from the feller.

Hey PB. I talked with one of them tonight on the phone. He was one of the drivers on Brutus in 69. Him and another guy are looking to purchase a truck and a museum in WI has offered to build it for them.
