Charity AMX Again, More.....Lets get busy!!!

["gremlin1" <gremlin1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Frank & Listers,

Just to give you a little more to go on about the guys at
Zion Auto Body. These guys, Dan (The Owner), His Brother,
His Father, Steve (The Bodyman) and Steve's Wife all need
great job done sent to them, from each and every one of us.
I have not done anything any of you could not have done with
a bit of dedication and persistance. I guess I am not afraid
to take on a task that I see as doable. I took on this task
as Frank said, just to store it until it could find a new
home. A Gentleman by the name of Mike Serpe stepped in and
did what he could to get its' body work done but it fell
through. We all need to look back at the tasks that have
been completed everwhere this car has gone. Mine is part is
no larger than the guy that put on the lug nuts since if he
did not do his part I could never done mine. 

I am not the MVP in my eyes. The MVP's are the Children that
this project was ment to help. I have my health many of
these kids do not and without our help may never have 1% of
what most of us take for granted. 

I challange each of us in this Holiday Season, Send a card
with some spare left over Christmass shopping money in it to
Frank. 

Lets get an interior bought this year for the Project
Charity AMX. 

If Each One of us can spare that one cup of coffee from
starbucks and send it to Frank, we can easily pay for a
complete interior. I would love to know why each of us can
not give up one cup of coffee or a couple bottles of water
or soda this season to make our project continue the mission
as that was started many years ago. Send a Christmass gift
to the thousands of children these charities help each year.
Look at all of the people who gave of their time, products
and just plain cash to get this project this far. What's
wrong with the rest of us? Is the coffee, water or soda to
much to give? I sure hope not, because if it is, your money
should be going to better places than an AMC!

WHAT CAN WE ACHEIVE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON???

With all of us on this list, everyone's little bit can go a
very long way.

I am committed to see this project through to completion,
Even if members of AMO, NAMDRA and all of the other clubs
here in the midwest and north can not step up to the plate
and do their part with their time and tools. I would
greatfully turn this project over to the next club to
continue on with the completion.

So who is it going to be? Or do Frank and I have to do this
ourselves.

I am sorry for offending anyone on this list. I guess see
things in a greater picture after things in my life,
including taking care of a disabled parent for the last two
years, just a little differantly.

Life is to short to keep everything to myself, I guess I may
even have smaller problems that some of you but larger than
some as well, and if I can find the time and the guys at
Zion Autobody can find the time, Why Can't You?

On an up note, our project is not the lone AMX at the Zion
Shop. Right next to it is another BBO AMX that is being
completed as we speek. There is also a Dodge Charger that is
there and a first generation Camaro. Steve used to own a
Javelin many years ago as well. This shop does nothing but
first class work. When I looked at the job that was done to
both quarter panels I can not believe that there was
anything ever done. They look like the day it had the
original body assembled here in Kenosha 35 years ago

I thank Those of you who have donated parts, supplies, money
and mostly TIME since that is what we all need more of each
day. Just remember that money can not buy everything this
world has to offer, sometimes your time is what is needed.

Let the flaming begin.
