Ok here is a little update:
The truck is valued at $113,000
I have collected information to start the EPA approval process.
A Registered Importer (RI) can be hired to assist with the paperwork and legal tape for $2500.
I have a call in and waiting for a reply for an accurate quote on ocean freight for a 40' container from Bangkok to LA and back and Bangkok to Houston and back along with insurance to cover the cost of the vehicle and additional motor/spare parts.
The route to Houston is estimated at about $500-800 more but it is an additional 7 -8 days of travel time.
I should have a solid ocean freight quote tomorrow.
The team is wanting to bring more people to up the count to 13, I have expressed concern over the cost of this addition...
They have stated that they are looking for local help and I will continue to pursue help from here. I'm also still working on them to give me real estate on the truck to offer to potential supporters.
They are still in the drawn out Visa approval process as of now.
Here are a few pictures of the truck:
Its pretty interesting and I hope we get to take a closer look at it
