Well, here is an update. The places the Brothers above gave to me have no more of anything left. No fault but my own, for getting married, working like a dog and procrastinating leaves me without. C'est la vie.
However, Rusty at Bernie Enterprises did give me a place somewhere in upstate NY that might have a few Mack's and/or ALF's. I still get the Jekyll/Hyde from Larry O Taylor., so I basically stopped calling them. Though I may try one more time.
The Mack is home, but has severe rust. I am looking into the local Vocational school into possibly doing it. I was initially told that they wouldn't do it for liability, but a member of the local VW club (I like VW's too!) mentioned he had work done there. I may take a few courses there at night and maybe finally learn something.
Shame of it all is, I wish I could snap my fingers and have a ton of people over here to do it. It seems that what many see to be the definition of Brotherhood, the almighty F.D.N.Y., has turned it's back on many of the Brothers that responded on 9/11/01 (RIP), and are denying the families the use of the caisson rig (Marc can verify this). I was asked for one funeral if they could use the rig as a caisson, and I sadly said it wasn't able to. Many more will be passing on, and our top level management just puts their head in the sand wishing we all would.
Along with Marc, I went down to DC on a rally November 18th. I made many contacts on the way home in getting this rig done so it can be used as a caisson, and when the wounded warriors do come to town. So hopefully, one of these will pan out, along with the local SPAAMFAA chapter. I shudder to think that some will think I want it done just for my benefit, but unless I pay for it to be done, I wont be entering any judged contents at musters. Just need it looking good for a caisson

She runs good, hauls ass off the top line, but needs the compartments repaired. A good compounding and/or paint job after that, and she should be good to go.
Anyone has any more leads, let me know. I'll try not to procrastinate on them.
Stay safe, Brothers. And Merry Christmas..

Kill 'em all, let Allah sort 'em out. NEVER forget 9/11/01 WTC, Pentagon, Pa. Avenge the acts with NO mercy.
Thanks to ALL the Brothers who were there 9/11/01 and afterwards. Words can never say what appreciation we have for you all.
