There's gotta be someone here to do it. C'mon guys! I talked to the guy for about 30min today. I told him that I thought it'd be good, but I'd want a set of eyes out there to look it over for me. He said "No prob, I'll look forward to it." and that was the last we talked. Anywho...the guy's name is Brad Miller. 213-482-4422 Tell him I sent you, and we'll see what happened. Thanks guys...

I am a little shocked that nobody stepped up to do this for him. I have done a lot of PPI's for many people for free on my own time. Never asked anything in return. It blows me away that nobody would step up. I would have but I have helped so many others with their cars that now mine are in desperate need of finishing for this weekend plus I have to work to get money to go this weekend. If I would have had the time, I would have just done the yellow car here for him and it would have been his. I just cant do everything. The yellow car will have to wait till after the WCC. Sorry Doug.

And he's definitely someone I'd trust to do a PPI. Maybe someone can pay him gas money for it. I'll mention it to him when I talk to him tomorrow. Or maybe he or Andy will check in with the club site before then. Jen

Yeah, I remember you offering but the guy was not going to be around today at all so it kind of killed that. Thank you for offering though. It would have been good if it would have worked out. Maybe Brad will step up and take a look at it. Or Andy, they both know these cars very well.

Haven't been surfing much - hehe. Anyway - I may have time tomorrow to look at it. Is the guy available during the day? Let me know.

Thanks for the er...bump of sorts. He said He's in Hollywood, right by Dogers Stadium on Sunset. Name is Brad Miller. His number is 213-482-4422. I dropped him an email last night to see if it was still available, heven't heard back yet. He's available today(Wednesday), it was yesterday that he wasn't. I must have missed that message... I'm going to feel bad if after all of this, the car is a POS. If someone can help out, cool. If not, I'll see it on Friday after I land. BTW: My cell is 216-650-6073 if anyone needs to call me about it. thanks gang...

I mean, all he does is play golf and sleep.

Thanks man...I appreciate it.

Tell him you are looking at it for me. (Doug Hardman)

All I'm really worried about is the structure. I've got an interior here. I'm bringing a set of carbs, rear calipers, and a radio with me to WCC.

If you have a digital camera, that'd be great, but I'll take your word for it too.

Call my cell...
