Projects Vagabonds need a favor... HAMB relay style

1957 Studebaker Broadmoor wagon 351cw/fmx. No interior. Radshit has been kind enough to store it for me since I rejoined the Army and though my deployments. I'd really like to get it out of his way and get working on it before we redeploy to Afghanistan.

 

I'm way down near the Texas coast so I think I'm out of the way to try to help haul but I get paid on Friday and if one of you Vagabonds has a paypal account, I'll drop in $20 to go toward gas money or paying someone to haul if a New Mexico/West Texas HAMBer can't start getting this thing part way to TN.

Remember fellas, Afghanistan ain't Germany or the f'n Med.

PM me to let me know.

 

If it was running, I could offer the time to bring it home.
No interior could be interesting.

 

Ok, thats about 18-20 feet long or so huh ?

Is it all in one piece or is it parts too that need to be transported ?

 

All in once piece last I heard.

 

Any idea of what hours of the day it can be got at origin or is it weekends only ?

 

I'm not sure. I know that Neal's been real busy lately so I'm hoping he can chime in on that.

 

Ok, if you hear ..post it up or pm the hours to me if you would, let me see what I can arrange on this end

might have a idea .

ps.

I'll toss some money in for someone to help move it too if that helps in the meantime

 

I am in Branson Missouri, that is just south of Springfield wich is on I-44, I could meet someone over around Ok city, tulsa, somwhere like that and run the car into tenn for him. I have a good truck and trailer, and lots of time. You guys have been great to me, so I would like to help out. I would like to try to help repay you for my freedom! Let me know what I can do. Jim

 

I appreciate all the kindness from you all, most of all to my Vagabond brothers for starting this as I didn't feel comfortable in asking for help.

 

Looks like we've got someone who is willing to do the right thing. It seems like he's ready to go way out of his way. Lets get this thing coordinated and see what kind of help he needs to make this happen. For Pete's sake, the man is going off to defend our country again. He putting himself on the line to keep us safe, the least we can do is make sure he gets his car home.

 

ZEKE ,
dont know ya , but come home safe . im a vn vet & understand the time away is tuff . thank you for your service ... steve

 

Add this old vet to the list of those who will kick in 20.00 for the gas or transportation kitty.
Yahoo maps says that is 1212 and change miles the short way.

 

I am home at present time (we got back in November from Iraq deployment #2) just so there is no confusion. My unit will be deploying again when I don't know and couldn't say if I did at this point. Time and cash are my issues or I would just go get it myself.

Oh and welcome home Steve. I wish you guys had gotten the welcome home you deserved.

 

Zeke , could you post up a paypal address for those that would like to lend a hand

 

Gonna leave that in the hands of the guy that started this. So as soon as Fiddy gets it set up we'll let you all know.

 

I've got $10 for gas! Wish I could do more.

 

cfnutcase is willing to go from Oklahoma City to Tennesee. If we can't get it to him from NM, let's raise enough money for extra gas and payment for extra time for cfnutcase to go to NM and get it. If we can help make it worth his while, maybe we can get this problem solved. If not, we need another able soul to take the car from NM to OK city. Anybody out there have any better ideas, please post them.....

 

bumpy looks like plans are coming together

 

ok... from NM to okie city...

we're working on a paypal account so that folks who want to donate for gas cash can do so easily... stay tuned

 

I'm feeling the love................... stop that Fiddy

 

No charge for time, just pay gas and I wll do the whole route, we need to get this car home! Jim

 

You da man,, give us a bit and maybe we can hammer out the details!

 

you sir, are a steely eyed missile man.

we'll figger some numbers out, get a few "donations" and we'll get the mans vehicle to its home

 

I'm still a newbie here but I believe in what goes around comes around so even though I'm geographically out of the equation I'll through a few bucks in to help pay for gas....get that paypal set up soon so we can help a brother get his car home.

 

ok, screw it...

paypal my account, and i'll be responsible for gettin cfnutcase the money for gasoline.

Ok, how much $$$$ we need to raise for this adventure?

 

Wow!! Fiddy as my witness I didn't see this happening. I'll have some 101st goodies waiting on ya.

 

Um, thanks?

 

yeah no doubt Thanks are in order.


THANKS!!! Jim
