ť Topic: 8ft PT Boat Kit (Dwight Brooks)
http://www.ptboatforum.com/cgi-bin/MB2/netboardr.cgi?cid=101&fid=102&tid=4001

Good Day Gentlemen,

My name is Abaxes "Chili" Williams. I have recently retired as a 21 year Navy CDR (with Marine background) who has recently purchased an 8ft PT Boat Kit (I believe Dwight Brooks) with a plethora of research/blueprints/schematics/emails/pictures/books/pamphlets (C/O I believe a gentlemen... first name Leo) that is of museum type quality. It will be my next duty to ensure that this model will serve as a most exact replica of our heritage, honor and courage that propelled our nation through the most demanding time of our history. I am seeking all knowledge that will allow me and my son to build this model as perfectly as possible. Thank you in advance of your support.
