#1 Big Bad Bill refuses to give up the lead! Colin doesnt look worried though. Thanks my friends!
#2 Terry was saving his tires in a brilliant strategy, he is now in the lead, and has no plans of letting anyone get by! Dave twisted another shaft clean off the car, earning tons of new fans in the process! Can Terry block to the finish? Should be an exciting finish with Darren pushing hard and the mystery car still expecting to be part of the show at the finish!
I recieved a couple more emails last night from people who want to help behind the scenes so to speak. This seems to be snowballing into far more than I could have hoped for. You guys should be damned proud of yourselves. Poor Johnathan will have to keep the girls away with a stick if hes rolls that ride into the high school parking lot. I cant possibly thank everyone enough.

Yes, I believe Johnathan was 15 when he started his project last year, and has made excellent progress. I really didnt expect him to stay motivated, but he is determined to see it through. It has been a long time since I was a teen, but I remember a year seemed like a lifetime.
Dude, I had no idea you were high-school age! Your car was here with a different owner before. I hope you can save her! Its amazing who may come out of the woodwork to help once you get down to the nitty gritty!

i bought my car when i was 14 =) i really don't know what to say about all of this really
If i was in the same boat that johnathan is in it would be a great idea but i dont need the x-tra funds.... i bring home $15 an hour and have next to no bills, and i dont think i will be going into a resto this soon so i should be able to aford to get what i want to get done
Jonathan is the one who needs the funds to help with the resto.

The checkered flag has dropped! The winners are below. Please chime in if I made a mistake. Please PM your address, I will get the items out as soon as I get the addresses. Thank you so much for the support! I do have another batch of items (including NOS 67 parts!), but I think its wise to wait a little. I dont want to milk a dry cow so to speak, and this should allow Johnathan to wet our appetite with progress pics. If our other teen member Dudemanbro ever decides to restore and needs help, I'd be glad to get involved!
#1 - Bill goes wire to wire! $100 #2 - Terry crosses the line first! $135 (total $370 through donations)! #3 - Darryl (PEI) $45 - Double winner! #4 - Darryl (PEI) $45 - Double winner! #5 - Brian - $20 - Thank You! #6 - Dave - $69 - Toucanchu!
With the cash already received, we have raised $1049.00!! ($250 goes to the engine, unless big J has a change of plans) Also, the following assistance has been offered.
1. Hands on help in the GTA. 2. Valve covers. 3. Breather. 4. Body mounts. 5. TINMAN - let him know what you need and you never know! 6. Wheels? 7. I probably forgot something, but I'll review and follow up once things slow down a bit here.
Addresses: Any funds raised can be sent directly to Johnathan or myself, your choice. Please send all parts (engines...spare cars etc...) directly to Johnathan. I will post the grand total once all funds are delivered to Johnathan. I will send the items within 24 hrs of receiving the address.
