The inspiration for my build comes from this truck that a contractor not far from here has restored.

He started out logging and became a prominent highway and road builder in this area. He is a car collector and a philanthropist. Since he sold his company, he has been giving money by the hundreds of thousands of dollars to various charities. He turned down one purchase offer because the buyer wouldn't guarantee him he'd keep his staff. That kind of guy.

There are a few things up in the air yet. Do I do it single drive like his restored truck or dual like his logging rig. And since there doesn't appear to be any B-61 engines ion the market, do I build it curbside or do I stick the ENDT 673 in it?

The man just turned 99 today.
