Project Gatorade-Mobile (*no 56k*)

A local guy posted this on my site:

My dad is a mechanic at American Airlines. he was given a job. To build a vehicle that can bring "refreshments" to the guys on the ramp (baggage people and plain guiders) The only catch was they had to use their sponsor gatorade.

Took them a month. and more than 20 grand total for the entire truck (labor, parts and what ever else)


BTW those rims and tires cost $1000 dollars :lol:

enjoy

I think it looks awesome, but I have to wonder, why not use a mid size pick up truck that doesn't cost 20 grand and most likely lots and lots of man hours...

My guess would be Gatorade picked up most, if not all, of the tab since their name is plastered all over the trucks. Pretty cool progress shots. Nice to see AA is making an attempt to care by keeping the folks on the tarmac hydrated, too.
