Hell yes I know Gilbertson machine! They did the driveline in my car. And I used to ride dirt bikes with Dan Gilberstson.

So yup, we did run up and down some of the same pavenmment. I also know people who work and who have worked at Freightliner. I used to work at WSI on Swan Island. Damn.

RAMM, PLEASE excuse the minor detour into old times...

But damn, I am sicker than a dog pooping peach seeds (quote taken from YR) from all the memories. As some people know Lonnie was a BIG guy very much into custom cars. Well, he wanted to build his first custom bike, and through a string of coincidence, Dick Pruitt hooked me up with Lonnie, and I helped himout with styling cues for his bike (styling being my profession, but let's keep a low profile).
The bike's name was 'Color me gone' and was shown at the Nevada Roadster Show in '95 ? and featured in a couple magazines. And young Mr. Stick was mentioned in one of the articles... still have a copy of that. Damn.

Edit: And he did my driveline as well. Only that I didn't have a Mopar, but a 68 El Camino SS396. Couldn't find a decent Mopar back then, being new in the country and not knowing anybody, so I went for the Elky I found at 'Dollar's Corner Auto Wrecking' (what a name) just over the river in WA. Sorry guys. Elky long sold.
