    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    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.

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    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...

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Soni, Good to hear from you and thankful that your event did not take you away from here. I have had one or two of these "Events" both of my own making and medical and they do tend to cause you to reevaluate how you do things. Whatever your decisions I, and I am sure the rest of us here, will...

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    I googled him and it appears that he has completely left the electronic side of life. There was one reference to him helping put a locomotive engine cab on with the Femmit in 2019 but other than that nothing since his posts on here and his leaving the railroad Co, in around 2010. I know a few...

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Although Soni visited the site in April of this year his last post was 10/5/ 2016. I fear we have heard the last from Soni. Especially when it comes to the Femmit.

    Unfortunately his last activity in this site was September of 2017, over a year ago.

    I certainly hope you let him drive it!

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Don't know about the AW-46 rating. I would just let it sit in a spot where the temp is fairly stable, like in a shaded area and see what it looks like in a month. I think that rating means it will stay suspended while in use. At the bottom of your tank in one of those pictures it looked like a...

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Now if you let those cans of contaminated fluid sit for a month or so you will find perfectly clean fluid on top and the water on the bottom. Carefully draw the fluid off the top and you have many gallons of clean fluid ready for the next disaster. Been there done that. Actually found out by...

    You need to start a picture thread with yours now. We can have a competition.:twisted:

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    I was going to say the same thing, T-Shirts!!!!!! I am here freezing my gonads off and he is posting pic's of people in T-shirts.:shock: But you know what guy's, Soni built that thing in weather cold enough to keep most of us cooped up indoors all winter so he deserves the warm weather. I'll...

    Like Mr. OSHA will be out there.:whistle:

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    And it makes it first dollar before the final finish is even done! Way to go. Looks like you were about maxed out on the height with the tanks. You say you ran out of fuel coming in, did you fill up going out? What kind of mileage are you getting? I would imagine that with the jobs you get in...

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Remember he said he needed the truck done for a job in April. It is April, he may be thrashing with no time for chat or pictures. As was mentioned, the job has to pay for the truck and if the truck isn't done then the job does not pay for the truck. That would be bad.

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    And while you are at it can you come over and fix all this stuff I thought I could do? :roll::roll: (Sorry Drew, Just couldn't pass on that opportunity:twisted:)

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    I was going to ask you this when it was all done but by that time you will be headed out on your job so here it is. This build has been way beyond the scope of most of the people on here and I can say I have built some strange stuff. WAAAAY beyond anything I would have tackled! Did at any point...

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    As I have been for years I am awed by your work. Now the big question, how much do you figure all of that which you have added weighs? Your steel supplier must love you and I would love to see your metalworking equipment. Bending and cutting steel that size that cleanly takes some serious...

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    I could see him putting tracks on it but knowing how much Soni loves his steel plate I don't think you will ever see amphibious or VTOL.:-D

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    This is exactly why I have followed Soni's work for many years. PLUS, he is doing it outside! No garage here. How many of you guys build something like this in the winter outside?
