Hey Daniel,
Not a problem, just curious.
If I had a fresh rebuild, I would most certainly donate it and my setup time to the cause.
My only spare is not suitable for much other than spare parts.

We did this for the kids not the car. We did this to hopefully pull the mountain size ego's together & become a community again like it was years ago not like it is now. I'm guessing the big picture was missed on this project.
My hat's off to you sir. It has to be a tremendous effort to pull this off.
I still consider myself a newbie in this community, but it does seem to be close knit compared to others.

Good luck and Merry Christmas to one and all!!!

Brian,

If you have some S-10 wheel cylinders to install I will send you a set of GM S-10 wheel cylinders to replace them if you want. We bought them from you a while back then went with a disk setup and never took them out of the box. Let me know.

The key here is to first raise money for the children! I gave my money knowing that the odds of me winning this car were almost zero. I gave the money to help some unlucky kids. The frosting on the cake is that Brian is a great person to even attempt something of this scale! I only hope we as a community can come together once a year like this. Makes me proud to be in such a good group. So I hope that everybody that I have become friends with because of being a Buick Man knows that I consider all of them true friends! Brian included. Thank you all that sent money for this cause, its worth the good feeling you get from knowing somewhere some child will receive a gift that they wouldn't otherwise have gotten. Makes me smile! That's what this is ALL about.
Allan

Jim Daniel Ray headed back up Saturday night to help us out with a few extra suprise items on the car. We are trying to get them done.
I appreciate the offer & will take you up on the rear s-10 wheel cylinders. Might not get done today we plan on taking her out in a little bit for some better pics.

Waiting on a few vendor donations to come in now.

Kip asplund of Excesssive Acceleration just shipped us a complete Mas air & cold air intake.

I'll snap a few of the extra suprise pics here shortly

A suprise fugitive from GA.

Daniel Ray said he had nothing better to do but stop up & give me hell. Well I put up with that for about 3 minutes then put him to work!

Here is Daniel Ray installing a Trunk carpet kit.
The re-wrapping the kicker box in Blue carpet.
Daniel spent alot of time making up the plaque to all the vendors & people in the community who spent there time donating as well.
Pretty sharp!

See if you can find your name. If not call Daniel Ray on his cell 24hours 7 days a week. 1-555 Ah we'll post quarter window pics soon with his #

Ok did something a little street sleeper here. Adrianne is getting dual 3" exhaust on his 4.1 stroked 86 GN. We took off his couple 100 mile stock exhaust with the single muffler & hung it on this car.Yeah I guess you found out your donation here bud!
With the motorized dump from Custom TR parts & the 3.5" down pipe. The TFT car goes from stock sounding T to what the hell ???

Cold air intake & daniel rays Roll bar pad!

Almost done.
Yes we have a few lights out but that was the least of our concerns.
Daniel was worried about rupturing my nuptuals so he came up with a classical trunk carpet cover on the roll bar.
