[AMC-List] Charity AMX is moving!

["Widiker, John D" <john.widiker@xxxxxxx>]

Frank and Tom both coordinated to come up with the current plan off
list. To their credit they cleared their differences up quickly and
privately and seemed very conscious as to each others feelings.

When this discussion began it was believed that the car was already
painted with minimal follow up work needed. As we've discovered
subsequently this is not exactly the case. Zion Auto Body did a TON of
work to get the car ready to this point but paint needs to still be
applied.

I've secured commitments already for both paint materials and paint job
to be donated in their entirety. Work is to commence immediately once
the car arrives. It's not uncommon for these people to do $10,000.00+
paint jobs and they accepted doing this for the children's hospital
charities without batting an eye.

I'm working to acquire the interior parts currently and have a Wyotech
(custom interiors program)  graduate ready to work (for free) to install
the stock seat covers, dye off color parts etc.

Pictures will be posted of the car in the arrived status and as work
progresses, I plan to post pics weekly. If you don't see things getting
done feel free to ask why the hell not.  

There will be an invitation made to the local AMC enthusiasts and Great
Lakes Classic AMC Club for several dates that I'll be arranging. The
spirit of this project is maintained by making it possible for people to
participate and contribute as they wish both professional and amateur.

Frank,
Based on what appeared to be about a 99.9% approval for getting the car
back to Tom Benvie ASAP, to finish for the BJ auction in Scottsdale this
coming January, you seem to have made an almost unilateral decision to
do the opposite.?.  I'm sure you've had dialogue with Mr. Benvie about
this in the last couple of days, so I'm anxious (as I'm sure others are)
to hear his comments (from him).  If he is on-board with this latest
news, then I guess all is good.

Thanks to the aide of list members, the Charity AMX is moving! John
Widiker will be taking over "on-site coordinator" duties while the car
as at his shop in Auburn Hills, MI. He's going to look over the car and
finish it if he feels he can. I'm reserving saying more than that until
he sees the car and determines exactly what is needed. Jack Barncord is
planning on picking up the car and transporting to John. I'm reimbursing
him for expenses from the funds I still have reserved for the car. John
may be asking the list for help later.

I want to take this opportunity to thank Dave DeLabio for seeing that
the body work got done to the car. It's in primer and ready for paint,
will need just a little block sanding and touch-up before color is
sprayed on. There was a bit more body work than anticipated, and it took
longer than expected, but everything has turned out for the best. Zion
Auto Body did a great job! 

With any luck this car will get completed over the winter and be
auctioned early in 2007!
