Any good samaritans in So-Cal anymore?

David finished the floors.
have to get up there to get the car.
we got the dough (Thanks guys) and we're waiting on a mutual friend to find out how she spells her name so we can make her a HAMB member.
when it gets back we're taking it to the glass shop for new rubber.

she's been in and out of the hospital lately so this is really gonna make her feel good when we drive it to her.

 

Mitch is awesome!

 

you got enough? you need more?

 

Wow that is awesome. I just wish there were some people around Oklahoma like this. Most just look at you like your a fool when you ask for help. Like somehow they are better then you.

 

Right On Guys! I didn't see this thread either but when i started reading it....I couldn't pull away from it! Way to go Mitch, David, and everyone else involved. Keep us posted!

Great thing you folks are doing out there.

Sure hope we all can repeat this act of kindness for someone else in the future!

 

Mitch, I didn't forget the spare tire well,

 

Mr Happy Hoppy...you and Mitch and the guys really rock....................thanks

 

Nice! How did I miss this thread. I am too far away to help, but how is the fundage going for the repairs...thats somthing I might be able to donate to!

 

I just came across this thread. You all are what car cars should be, lend a hand when u can. No funds here, but if you ever need a a wrench turner or scrounge a part, let me know.

 

man, I really like hearing something like this. yall guys have done really good.

 

What the status, I need to know!!! you guys better take pics when she gets her car back! if you need anymore fundage pm me I'd be happy to give.

 

went and picked up the car from Hoppy's place today. all sealed up and ready for carpet (one day).

i need to get online and order some window rubber and that should be it.

if anyone wants to kick funds, please contact me via PM and i'll shoot you my paypal addy.

thanks again to EVERYONE involved from the guys who turned wrenches to the guys who have donated so far.

i'm going to call her and let her know where were at with this deal. i still need to set up an account for her on the hamb. she doesnt have innernets at home so i'm going to set up anyway and she can log in from a friends place.

hey thanks gary.

i talked to the owner yesterday to let her know what's going on and that her car isn't in mexico serving duty as a taxi cab.

she was all pumped up.
she said she hasn't called because she didn't want to ruin any surprise...

thanks again fellas for all of your generous donations.
we have all we need to buy the window rubber, R&R the glass, put a new tail pipe on it and buy an alliance membership...

so she says to me...

i wish i had a way to say thanks to everyone...
i simply said... i've got a way.

i've kept track of everyone who has donated time, money and parts. once i get her HAMB acct. set up, i'll show her how to log in.

 

great thread to read, you are stand up guys and should feel damn good about what you have done...
the HAMB and its people are the best................
would luv to see a pic of this lady gettn her car back.....along with all those that put in the time.

 

Wow it gives ya the warm and fuzzies. You guys rock

 

You guys are rulers. Without the HAMB, none of this would have happened. Make sure you hug your Ryan today.

Wow! That's really cool guys! I know it feels good to be able to step up and help others out! Imagine how much you all changed her outlook on the world around her!

 

ordered the windshield and back glass gaskets from Chevs of the 40's today. hope to see them on friday or monday. then off to the glass shop... then to Fredy's for a tailpipe and glass pack.

she has boxes and boxes of resto parts for the car, but i think we're gonna take a break after glass and muffler.

 

hey guys...
you know what we could REALLY use?

we could REALLY use a hood latch assy.

this one is all hogged out and the hood wont stay latched.

if anyone feels like donating one it would be superlative.

 

Btt

 

I may have a hood latch for a 53 Chevy. Can somebody in the know verify if the 49 and the 53 latches are the same? Regardless I'll see if I can locate it in my stash of neat and organized parts inventory. What you guys are doing is SUPER!! Be proud of yourselves!!

 

Is there still any use for more funds? I am always up for helping out anyone whenever I can. Absolutely amazing what everyone has done thus far. My hat is off to alteredpilot for volunteering is his time and shop and taking the reigns to help out a total stranger!!

 

This is what its all about helping each other out and just having a good time .

 

Mitch, could you send me a picture of the hood latch? If it's something I can fix, I'll pay the shipping both ways to get it done.

 

I just read this from the beginning and i'm not ashamed to admit, i got wet eyes. You guys should be VERY proud of yourselves. I don't have much right now but if she needs more funds i can live without a couple bucks. Pm in progress.
