Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

[Waterhouse]

I've just been put on to this thread. Obviously, too late. Soni, if you come back and see this, I loved the project. I hope you are doing well. It's funny you were doing this all the while I was building my project and nobody put me on to you.

In any case, while my project is not really worthy of your workmanship, you still might get a kick out of it. I started in about 2010 and this is how it sits today. I still have a lot of work. (I'm slow)

You'll be happy to know it's powered by a Cummins. The only thing on it that is OshKosh is the emblem above the grill. If you (or anyone else) wants to check it out, here's the link.

Ok guys, everybody hates me on Pirate, but they don't hate my build. (Well maybe they don't) Anyways I figured I bring it over here. I think mine is the longest active build thread ever. This first post is from 2011. Well I’m finally starting my build thread. Of course, the name is indicative...

That is a sweet machine!

What do you "do" in that thing (what's she designed to do)?!

Right now, I just work on it. Lol. Someday, I want to take trip out west in it.

How is Sonny? Pray all is well......his is a SERIOUS skill set that leaves many in dust (me wiping a LOT of dust out of eyes!) I truly enjoyed his fabs!! Super NICE!!

I did a search for him and he has basically fallen off the face of the earth. Probably by design. Last thing I found was he was on his boat and doing some work in the northeast but that was a couple years ago. Sometimes people just burn out and want to disappear. Soni worked non stop for a long, long time on that last truck and I think he had had enough by the time it was done. Coupled with the problems at the RR. Remember, he built dozens of one off very capable and unique builds before that. Time to move on and start a new life.

Understood. In our current era of data-and-tracking, there's a whole lot to be said for "opting out".

Peace to you, Brother, wherever you are!

One thing I do wonder about is where all of his vehicles have gone, the later ones he probably still has stashed but I am wondering about all of his older ones.

Might be a website called "Hire-A-Hacker" where all these details (and more) could be found...you know?!!
