[K3pzn-board] Cost of the Truck repairs

[Keith Krichinsky]

Based on my experiences with the truck, this does not seem unreasonable to 
me.  I do have a few questions, however.

1)  After $1800 + of repairs, will the vehicle pass MD inspection and 
emissions testing?

2)  Is this just what it would take to get the vehicle into drivable 
condition , or will this keep us on the road for a while?

3)  What additional repair(s), if any, would he reccommend at this time?

4)  Ultimately, we'd like this vehicle ready to respond for emergency 
communications support anywhere within a 100 mile radius of Westminster.  
Does he feel confident that these repairs would enable this vehicle to 
reliably travel such distances (and back) without breaking down?  I'm NOT 
looking for a guarantee here, just a little bit of confidence.

Having said that, I feel we should proceed. (Of course, I AM a little 
biased.)  We should also contact Buddy, et. al. and discuss it openly with 
them. They might be of great service to us.  Who knows, they might even get 
the county to paint the truck for us at little or no cost!   Maybe it is 
time for another dinner meeting.

Your thoughts gentlemen......

Greetings All,



             I just received a fax estimate of the repair cost of the 
donated
MPT truck:



                                                 Parts

30.27

30.27

Water Pump                              $   90.06                       $
302.70

                                                 ---------------------
------------------

                                                 $ 965.53
$ 847.56



Total Repair Cost                       $ 1,813.09



Now, with this said I remember from our discussion with Buddy Redman that
their may be some homeland defense money available to help

us with the repair of the truck. Todd also said that he is willing to help
by donating 10% off the labor. I will talk to him some more and see if

we can't get a little more off. Also, he is storing the truck for us for now
at no charge. So I would recommend that you guys think about it and then

we should probably start a roundtable on the board reflector on what to do
before the next general meeting.
