Thanks :-)

My 02.

Who is running this project? I believe we need someone on point that will invest the time and effort to make sure it is done correctly, mediate disputes if they come up, and liaison with the GSP for scheduling etc. I know Gregg H has been involved with this car for the past several years so I nominate him to take the lead on it.

It is my understanding the car will be made road worthy at GSP fleet, taken to another location to be disassembled for paint, then reassembled and presented to GSP. For any of you that have seen Gregg's restoration work I think it is a no brainer to have him do the assembly and reassembly. Bobby's boss has agreed to paint the car with PPG providing materials etc. My recommendation is to take the car to Gregg's for disassembly, then transport to Bobby's shop for paint work, then back to Greggs for reassembly. Parts supplied for this project can be shipped to Gregg as he has a clean safe facility for storage. Gregg is also retired and has lots of spare time to invest in this without intruding on his regular work schedule.

If someone feels inclined then feel free to post this over on .org. I do not have posting privileges there.

Gregg and I are working together on this restoration project. A letter has already been submitted to the GSP by my employer to have the following work done:

Install new gas tank and fuel pump
Paint
Install quarter windows
Door moldings
Headlights etc


Since my boss will be legally responsible for this car while it is in his custody, we cannot ship it all over the place to have work done that is outside the scope of the initial letter that was sent. Once this first batch of work is completed, then another letter will need to be submitted that outlines the remainder of the work to complete the restoration. This can be done at Gregg's shop, which would be written in the second letter to the GSP.

Gregg and I will work together to coordinate this project with the GSP.

I was just getting ready to reply when I saw Bobby's post. The process to get donations to the GSP are specific. A letter of donation is required. Bobby and his Boss had already initiated that action before I came on the scene. The requirements for the letter dictate all specific actions be listed. It's not a general catch all document.

Just as Bobby indicated the legalities dictate that the car remains in the body shop's possession during the initial phase of this project. Once that is completed then I will know if an additional letter will be required from me for any other interior or mechanical items/work.

The project is about the car, Bobby and I are working together to obtain that goal.

Thanks for the clarification guys. Now everyone is in the loop. Very cool the GSP is making the car available to get this work accomplished.
