Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Bart Gaffney from Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. I belong to www.forwardlook.net and own a 1959 Dodge 2dr ht. I write you today on behalf of one of our members in the Mississippi area.
He is a 16 year old High School Sophomore named Christian Morgan of McComb Mississippi.
Christan is the owner of a 1958 Plymouth, powered by a 230 Flathead 6 cyl engine and a standard shift "3 on the tree".
Christan is not very mechanically inclined (yet), and lacks the knowledge base, tools, and resources to work on his engine. Mostly, he needs a little adult guidance and mentoring. He is eager and willing, but his inexperience has been his undoing. He has a broken camshaft, and it is difficult to communicate with him to determine the extent of the work that needs to take place in order to repair his engine. In short, we need someone locally that can give us some real feedback and maybe even lend some assistance to Christan.
I have started a thread on our website / forum at www.forwardlook.net . The actual thread can be found here. http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=19409&start=1 Let me warn you...its a long thread and getting longer...but it will give you some of the background you need.
...and we have a pledge drive on our www.forwardlook.net forum to raise funds to help Christan find an economical solution to get him up and running. More importantly is for Christan to find a welcome car or truck club locally that can assist him. What better project for a club to take on, than the mentoring and molding of a young person into this hobby.
I thank you for your time and look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Bart Gaffney aka Bart_59_Dodge @ www.forwardlook.net
