holy shit gus the bus is dead!! urgent help needed for shut up an eat it!!

A email received from otto,,



"hello famliy i am saddened to have to tell this story to you all but
here it is.
two nites ago me and 4 members of shut up and eat it were hanging
out at our property in cottondale alabama with our bus named gus as
you all know there with us now she has been having some brake
problems so seeing how our whole place is one big hill we had her
parked at the top with a large chunk of asfault under her rear
tireswhen without warning she started to roll down the hill almost
running all of us over she managed to gather a lot of speed before
slaming into a tree in doing so she has bent the frame and now can
no longer be driven sooo now shut up and eat it has no way of
getting our kicthen to the woods to feed our family yes it is a
fairly large amount of stuff so i am sending out a rainbow destress
call please help us we may very well kick all of our stuff down to a
kitchen because i would really hate to see all of our things go to
waste after all we did buy all of this for one perpose and that was
to feed people no matter who dose it

loving you all
please reply to this or call us at
205 454 7406 and ask for swizzle and if he can't help you get
cowboys number and ask for otto

thank you famliy
otto
shut up and eat it"

 

do they have an email address, or even maybe a paypal account? if possible, I'd like to donate, and i'm sure the family could come through if needed.

 

i know everybodies kitchen is in the process of rebuilding theyre bus, & had lost all theyre kitchen equipment, so if shut up & eat it doesnt get to get a new bus, i',m betting everybody at everybodies would really appreciate any kick downs
they have a new bus, somewhere in my area i'm putting in calls to them now, & they already were planning a trip to alabama
as you know, everybodies is a full time kitchen, they share food everywhere they go, not only at gatherings, but in the poorest neighbourhoods all over the country.
they've been working on the bus for months & would love to be sharing food right now to huricane victims as well as at gatherings
this may be another case of rainbow magic at work
many blessings

How dead is dead? I raise bring autos back from the dead, a little frame tweak no problem you can rig a high lift jack to straighten it back out (I prefer hydrulic set up though) sheet metal can be hacked till straight ones can be found, nothings dead till you take it to the scrap yard and it finds it way to the chopper and turns it into little 4inch by 4inch hunks of metal... got a picture of it hippiehillbilly? you guys still got it, damn wish you were closer to me, I got the tools to get you going again... If the frams bent an easy way to do it is wrap a chain to a tree around the frame before the bend, now put another chain on teh bend and use a Highlift jack in teh middle of the bend to pull it what ever way you need to just anchor that chain in the other direction... but ya I'd need to see the damage.... Good luck man Mike...

 

mike , you sound like a talented dude .

 

OH man too bad they aren't out my way. A couple of weeks ago I saw an old bus for sale in someone's yard up the street from me.
Don't know if it runs but it looked pretty in tack to me. Too bad I haven't purchased all the new tires for my own bus, Desert Hippimobile or I'd donate all the older but in good shape tires to ya.
Sorry to hear that....

 

Good news on Gus:

 

sweet! nothings dead till you shread and chop it up


Mike...
