One thing I haven't seen yet discussed in this thread is the 16mm film they shot with "Happy Jack's Go Buggy"'s restored original WWII gun camera last week?

Mike hauled me over to his laptop and played it. It really blew me away!

Color footage shot from HJGB's gun camera of Vlado being "in" HJGB's gun sight! I tell you, the lead looked good and I think "Moonbeam McSwine" might have taken a few lethal hits if there was real bullets firing with the camera! It was rigged to shoot just like the original when the trigger was pulled. How's that for a restoration!!!

(Mike, you gotta post some of it on WIX!)

Mike promised to sent it to me when he's back and takes a day off.
I can forward it to Scott and maybe he can put it up??
