To Todd....From the Ratpack

[Finch]

Brian,
Although new to this scene. I'm local to you and am more than happy to lend a hand, a wrench or a weld to a good cause. Please let me know if you need another set of hands, even if its just to move stuff around or push a broom. Regardless of whether you take me up on it, this is certainly a great project for a great cause!

Dave,



I saw a few of your posts when you first joined and planned to reach out and say hi since your local so now we will have a good reason to meet up. Extra hands are always welcome on this project and any of the others I have going on.

Look forward to meeting you

Great project!

I meet Todd at RTTH's a few years back and he was a cool guy. I am in for lending a hand. I'll ride up with David when you need the help.

Robert

Great news, Thanks Robert

Likewise!

Just give me a shout whenever you need/want some help. Some weekends I'd almost prefer to work on someone else's junk instead of my own.

Here are a few pictures of the top and bottom of the tub we are starting with. I will post up more pics once the car arrives. It is very clean and we will have no rust repair to do before we start cutting it up to add the go fast goodies.

Brian this is a great build,if I can help out in any way turning wrenches bodywork anything doesnt matter I live 5 hours away, but getting to spend time with fellow protouring friends and building a car for such a great cause just let me know and I will be there to help out.

Brian,

Such a great thought. I wish I had some valuable skills I could provide. I should be around your neck of the woods a few times in the coming months. I will definitly be excited to watch this build.

Thanks. First class all the way! Very fitting tribute. Ben's rendering has been my screensaver since it was first posted and I can't wait to see the completed project.

Hey Brian and Albert,

This is a great project for a great cause!

I don't know what you have and don't have but I may have a few items you may need... With my Bug's drivetrain setup, I really wanted to have a 35-spline axle setup. At the time of need, there really wasn't anything out there that was hitting the mark for me. I ended up purchasing a Moser Dual Bolt-Pattern floater setup (5x4-1/2" & 5x4-3/4") and a Wavetrac 31-spline differential. About 6 months later, GMR came out with the exact setup I really wanted to run in the first place. Therefore, I stepped up and purchased the GMR floater setup and I am upgrading my center section with a Wavetrac 35-spline differential.

If interested, I am happy to donate the entire Moser DBP floater system to the project as well as the brand new Wavetrac 31-spline differential.

Let me know if these items would help the project and keep up the great job!!







When you get a chance, let us all know what you have and more importantly, what you don't have and let's see what we can round up for you...

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a lot of parts layin' around "just in case" I may need them one day!

No problem guys. It warms my heart to be able to help!

I haven't heard from Brian yet to see if he needs any of these items... If he does, I think I'll just make it easier on everyone and donate the whole aluminum center section and I'll just start over from scratch for my 35-spline setup!

By the way, Brian, it has Moser's 3.50 gears if that will work with your setup.

Let me know and I'll get the whole center section in the mail!

Ray,

I apologize for the delay in getting back to you on this, Too many cars and very little time has kept me away from the keyboard for too long.

I cannot say how this warms my heart for you make such a donation as an individual. We had approached Moser as a sponsor and recently was informed they have decided to back out of the project due to limited advertising dollars so this is truly heaven sent at the right time.

We have connections all over the aftermarket so maybe there is something you need we can help procure to give back some for your generosity.

You have re-ignited my fire on this so even more thanks is due.

Hey Brian,

No problem! I'm glad some of this stuff can be of use for the project.

Let's get together and get things rolling!
