    UncleMorgan I like peeling bananas and (occasionally) people.

    One of the local businesses has a 1935 Armored Truck that was used by banks back in the day.

    It's a tin can by modern standards, but still looks cooler than the Batmobile.

    I want one.

    Could be a bit out of my price range, but would be glad of a contribution. UM's would be even more welcome in my garage.

    With a 5 ton weight you can bet it is a fuel hog.

    Well, if I could afford to buy it, fueling it might not be a deal breaker. It's one of those deals where if you have to ask, it ain't on your menu.

    The white farmers in Rhodesia made their own armored trucks in response to terrorist ambushes and mines. It shouldn't be too hard to do, especially if you are handy around a shop.
