i know i wouldnt ask for help either but if we can make this the new focus and for tony and his wife it will show finishing the car and being in the car hobby is truly worth it .
one reason i love being in the car hobby is all the great people i have come to know.

I don't want to put that on the shop. Maybe Scott could organize it? We all trust him.

Plus, due to my job, I don't want to be the recipient of any cash. Could look bad.

I plan on spending 16 hours sanding off the old stuff so that Anthony saves that labor. Anyone wanna come help? lol

I have never met you, but you are a friend of one of Customers (David) that we are doing a 69 Camaro for. He sent me this link today & I just finished reading it.
I don't want to get in the way of any deal you have going for or with a shop. But I am close to you & would be willing to come out for free & take a look at your car & see if I can be of any help.
I feel really bad for what has hapened to you on your project.
I love to hear about all the support & all the help the members of this site have offered. It is great to see.

I hope I can be of help. Look forward to meeting you some time.

That's a nice offer, Anthony knows he is better off to find a close shop. Just saves $$$ that can be put into fixing the car.

Again, I'm sure Tony will be up for you checking out the car.

Like I said ealier, I wish I was closer I'd love to help. Unfortunatley I'm the kinda gut the gives up my own time to help others but I get more reward out of it that way. You guys let me know when pay pal is set up and I'll be glad to chip in. Anthony has spent many nights on the phone with me, if anything just keeping me awake so I could keep working. Good chance I'll be in town sometime after the first of the year so maybe I can help with assembly.

You've brought up some good ideas. I think a cap on the amount donated is appropriate. The quote to fix the damage was 4k if I'm not mistaken and I think that would be plenty. Not sure if Pay Pal can be set up to go directly to the shop, but that wouldn't be a bad thing. Best of Show will be doing the work and they didn't get there rep by screwing customers. A thread to follow the progress is a great idea, as is posting where the funds are used. Steve if you want to keep that updated, seeing as your closer to this than most, I think that would be great. If not I'm willing to do it or perhaps Anthony can.

This is actually a really cool thing. I'm sure that when Anthony gets home and finds out what's going on he will be over whelmed. It's sure to get him motivated and all revved up about his car once again. Heck...he might even be speechless for once.

Your right. I think Scott is perfect and yes we all trust him.

I'll come help as soon as I get back from recurrent. If you some one will put me up for a night or two I'll stay till it's totally sanded down.

i see your points...yours ,with the money and the shop handling the deal.
maybe tony already has a pay-pal account...its all linked to a bank account so the person recieving has to set it up with their bank info or have a pay-pal account already...
i guess its up to tony .....sounds like your gonna get help ...

scott could start the thread ,since curtis said tony didnt want all this attention.
LETS GETR DONE as we say down here in the south..

I like the Steves suggestion of having Scott in charge of the funds. We all respect, like and trust him.
