Seems SA has become quite the warbird haven the last few weeks. Look out Chino. (Still waiting for HJGB)

San Antonio----Kerrville. Close enough, especially when you live half way in between.

So, the Stallion 51 folks sold Putt Putt Maru to the Friedkins? When did this happen?

Now that you mention it...
As MUCH as I miss seeing her in Galveston THANK HEAVEN'S Putt Putt Maru was spared from IKE!

I imagine success breeds success... Now that GG is in San Antone other P38s are coming through to keep her company, exchange notes and generally run with like minded folks.

Just a guess....

It was owned by Blair. Stallion was working on it.

Rich-

Indeed it was owned by Blair... who virtually owns Stallion 51.... and the brothers were fixing it... and they are only associated with Stallion 51.

Where are you at here in SA? PM or email if you don't want to broadcast it.
