oh heck, there's 1956 ppl with more time on here than me...and it was already like 2 years old when I showed up.

I'm normally willing to help...

If I had a garage, I'd put a computer in there...and probably my bed too. ;)

I have a idea. If we set up someone who will accept e-mails from board members who would like to help others with a phone number location (no addresses) and then send out the list to members who request this list. This way the list isn't on the internet for all to see. Mabe a set amount of post will be needed so some spammer wouldn't get the list. Just an idea.

It's already in motion guys, I'll post the particulars tommorow night.

Thanks Josh

Just saw this, great job Andy and everyone else! That is just another example of why this board not only ROCKS, but is almost like family! When I posted about my recent trip to Chicago, I had 9 board member contacts along the route send me their info in case I should need help, that was very cool, and took some of the worry out of the trip. I thought Jodie had a similar list for her trip, but evidently not.
Having a help network is a good idea though, none of us ever know when trouble will rear it's ugly head. Again, good job Andy and everyone involved!

id be intrested in being in or apart of the list. let me know what info you need or if you need any help

The National Street Rod Association (NSRA) has a book called the "Fellow Pages" that is mailed out to members yearly. Anyone that wants to volunteer provides their name and phone number, and they are organized by State and City. Works great to have in the glovebox in case of an emergency.

Andy/Randy, thank you for coming to the rescue for a fellow board member. You guys are the greatest!

If there is anyway that I can help out I would be more than happy to.

This idea has been brought up several times before, since I am damn near
right in the middle of the freakin US of A I have said before and will say it
again, I would be willing to help out in anyway I can, Just ask about any
of the people who have posted road trip threads, If there was a chance
they were even coming close to this spot I sent them a Pm for support. ;)

Be looking forward to this info and will definitely volunter my services. I'm at the bottom of the earth here and not a mechanic by trade, but at least I could go and help them stare at the engine. I'm a good coffee fetcher too. :D

Now THAT is funny!

Western PA is Covered
 

Guys and gals,
I can offer you safe passage through the left side of PA (minimum). You have ME, pretty much covering the tri-state area of PA, WV and OH. I know David (Gloryhound) would take care of anybody on the East side of Pittsburgh (when he's actually in our state) You have SUPER guys like Brian (Burnsman) up North, you got Bill (Chevydad) down South in little Washington, Jim (Jims69) by the airport (just to name a few), all guys that would do as MUCH as they possibly could for you. Having a network is a SPECTACULAR idea, I know you can count the folks in Western PA in. I just bought a '68 Burb down in Glen Burnie MD this weekend that I will be bringing back here in the coming weeks. I hope some folks will have MY back in case it is needed. Thank you for including ME in the family, Mike

Thanks for being on the ball,Handy Andy.This is what it`s about.I`d help anyone.

I'm more than willing to help when I'm home, but my job has me travelling all over the US and out of the country over 60% of the year. That means I would not count myself dependable and available.

Anything i can do to help,just let me know.I am south central Missouri and have some parts and a little knowledge(not with spelling) about being broke down and getting it going again.I am just a mod but will help anyway i can.

I'm in southern Ohio and willing to help anyone. If we can't get it running
then we can trailer it to some place safe in order to get it off the highway.

Andy....been said before by someone here but I will say it again, your'e
a good person and a fellow Buckeye. LOL

Don

I live in south central Michigan just off I-94 and I would be happy to assist anyone in trouble. there are a few others in my area along I-94 that probably would be glad to lend a hand as well.
An idea I had is to have one or two phone numbers on the forum that would be monitored by the mods or admins that a traveler could call and then the mods or admins could access a private list that only they could see. This list would contain names and addresses and phone numbers of us volunteers, and the ones in the area of the stranded party could be notified. I am just not sure how the prime phone number would be monitered unless it belonged to an admin or maybe Josh could set up something through the server.

thast pretty much how its gonna work vette . there are a few who will willing have a public published phone number for ya'll to have n hold close to your heart :) anyways Josh is gettin it together n will let ya'll know ze specifics tonight

I am in Pensacola, FL just off of I-10 and would be willing to help anyone out.

Ditto here - am always willing to help and give out me # for any sort of list.

I'm heading down to Sioux Falls from St. Cloud on Saturday, just an FYI if anyone else is going, or on the way.

Paul

I'll join the list. I saw this post last night, but she was already back on the road by then. I'm glad everything worked out ok. Being a mechanic in north central La. with several parts trucks, and just 2 miles from interstate 20, I feel like I'm being "called out" here, lol.

Put me down to cover some of NE PA. I have a two toolboxes and a bunch of parts stores near by ready and waiting for a call. I'm not a mechanic but I am mechanically inclined and could help out somewhat.

Mike

phone list
 

Im fairly new here but I would give my # and offer to help anybody passing close by here.

It will be a private list, administered by Me, Liz, Mudder67, and Mac67. We will be posting the place to send your contact info to tonight, along with the phone #s to all of the list admins in a sticky on all the boards to call in case of emergency.

Josh
