FBBO Benefit Auction for @moparedtn!

[Under Pressure]

Ok, we have a OEM 1970 front sway bar to put up here with aftermarket bushings and clamps, shipping included in conus

Lets start the bid at $25.00

 

[Paul Boucher]

I think it should but I'd prefer you check with someone more knowledgable rather than take my word for it. I'm sure the folks at Firm Feel would know, or maybe we can start a thread in the appropriate section here?

Thanks! I’ll bid $50 on it and reach out to them tomorrow. It’s for a good cause.

I want the Hand Job!

[moparedtn]

Evening y'all.
I have a couple more folks to publicly embarrass who have chosen to help out directly thru PP.
Hey Dana Price (Dana the Trim Master), THANK YOU!
This guy isn't even a member of FBBO, but when Leanna told him what was happening here, he
jumped right in to help.
Amazing!

Hey @Officer Higgins Dan, I got your PP. THANK YOU! I'm very sorry PP took a fee out of you.
They will do that if folks don't specifically select that "friends and family" designation when sending money....

God bless ya both gentlemen, along with your families!

 

[BDF6]

WOW! Look what happens when one is away from the forum 2-3 days...
@CudaChick1968, What a thoughtful and great idea!

@moparedtn, Told you not to tell anyone! You are forgiven.

God Bless you Ed!

With every bump on the thread, every bid, every new item added to the list, it makes my heart swell! You gentlemen have exceeded every hope I could have had for a successful outcome in this venture so much already -- only 2 1/2 days in?!?!? -- that " Thank You" seems painfully inadequate. You're hitting it outta the park, over the parking lot and into that empty field wayyyy over there --------->! I'm proud and very blessed to have such generous friends.

Mr. and Mrs. Ed, seeing the pics made my day!! I hope it's just the beginning of happy days ahead. << hugs >>

See, I haven't had Fred the GTX out in quite a while because.....well, reasons.
Y'all can imagine why, I reckon.
So ok, we get the car out and give her a little gas, then set off to who knows where and wind up
in a nice park in a neighboring town.
I made her pose.

I can only SECOND everything Leanna says here. This has all been jaw-dropping AMAZING!
YOU ALL have been AMAZING!!
I mean, it's just me for heaven's sake. I ain't nobody....

I've always supported Leanna wherever I see her in our Mopar world; that's easy. I always make a point to
recommend good work, good companies - and those are usually operated by good PEOPLE.
Sure is in this case, so over the years, I'd always chime in when I'd see her ads or posts or whatever.
What I didn't see coming is what's she's doing for me now, though - which is simply incredible.
I mean, she's got a life, other responsibilities, family and business to take care of, too - so her spending all
this time doing this thing AND going to other non-FBBO avenues to recruit, too?
I am humbled beyond words and deeply in her debt - and grateful as hell.

@4spdragtop Steve from Canada - Thank you kindly, sir!

 

[moparedtn]

Thats a beautiful car! How long have you had that for us that dont know.

Well thanks. I can't take credit for Fred's paint choice or bodywork; that was done before I bought the car,
although there's been a lot of fixing and body shop trips since then to get him looking a bit better.

Now, how long?
Oh Lord, what's it been - over 9 years ago now, I think? Must have been like 2011.
Sounds about right. Spent 2012 slowly gathering parts (the car looked ok but was a mechanical/electrical mess)
but the REAL work began when I got cancer for the 3rd time in 2013 and temporarily died for the 4th time during
that surgery....

The GTX became my post-surgical therapy, with me slowly making my way out to the garage after the wife left
for work each day. Yeah, I disobeyed doctors' orders...nothing new there.
Working on the car became a prime directive more than a fun hobby, as I was determined to spend my time
tying up all the loose ends in my life just "in case" something happened again.
That's how it went for some years after. Lots of screw ups, lots of progress, most of it documented right here
on FBBO for the world to see, whether they liked it or not.
You do a search for my member name on here, I'm littered all over the joint....
All thanks to all these fine folks right here on FBBO along the way, too. TONS of help has been given (some of
it even in person by other members!) and lots of encouragement (and chastising) when needed, too!

Fred the GTX was "officially" announced to be a fully functional "CAR" again last year finally.
I lived long enough to see it through, along with all the house/property stuff needing doing and all that.
Then all hell broke loose and it wasn't medical this time... been a rough ride ever since.
That's all right - I've seen worse and kicked its' ***.
