    hey guys ..i am looking for some help...i started this project 71 mav with my dad about two years ago.... unfortunatly he has since passed away, i am almost done with it I got my shortblock back and my trans is being rebuilt as we speak....I will drop the motor and trans in when it gets back(or i could put motor in now and trans later) then all I have left is wiring and brakes..... I think I can have her ready for the roundup but I dont know anything about wiring...is anyone in the detroit area that knows a thing or two and would like to come help?!! Food and beer on me of course !! I would like nothing more than to have this car ready for the roundup!Thanks!!

    I'm a hour from Port Huron, and I'd love to help, but I don't have the time.

    I'm sure any questions you might have, we'll be able to talk you through it.

    Yes....we can help you out "here" until we get "there". One way or another...we want to see YOU and your CAR at the MCCI Roundup Nationals. Worse case scenario, get it all put together and we can finish it up in the parking lot at the host hotel in Dearborn.

    I have just sent an email out to a group of the MCCI members in Michigan, all in your area. Maybe one of them can help you out.

    We have them same weather here. Crazy over 100 for over a week straight. My son is in Houston, TX and it is cooler there.
    I would try to make a cookout depending on the timing. Last time I had a great time.

    Don't worry....it's the Roundup Nationals. Always plenty on chairs, canopies, tools, and fender covers. Hopefully cooler weather this year. I have already scheduled time to work on a member's car, plenty of time to work on another. Bring it down (or over...or up)
