OK ,as some of you are already aware, The make a wish foundation ( Along with the help of MANY other people and companies) is building a 69 Charger for 15 year old girl Ronni Steves. She has Leukemia , and the 69 Charger is her Dream.

I would like to try (with all your help) to assist the Awesome People involved with making this dream a reality.

Do you have any pieces you can donate to this great cause?

I have spoken with the Man who is orchestrating the build for her and his name is Mike Meeks, He will be chiming in with the things they are in need of and hopefully can get some help.

As the Charger progresses and more needs arise Mike can continue to let us know what they are looking for at that time.

I think this is a great way to help someone who really deserves it.  :2thumbs:

Have you considered having people donate parts that fit other years/models to be sold or traded for needed parts?  Might be a way to increase participation...

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  Especially if they have access to the internet.

I read that other thread and called our local Make-a-wish foundation and signed my car up.   My car is not perfect but most don't see it as I do and they love it.  If a kid's dream was to play with and ride in a GENERAL LEE, I would do what I could to make that happen.   :2thumbs:   I too have some parts that I could send that I won't need.

I have a 2 piece Charger trunk pan (Shermans) that I could donate to the cause.  It has developed a little surface rust on it in places from sitting but, if it can be used I'd donate it.   :angel:  Here's a pic of when I first got it.

69*F5*SE

Hey guys, I donated the above pictured trunk pans to the 69 Charger being built for Ronni Steves.  I feel good that the pans will be put to good use.  Mike Meeks is pulling everything together for the build and the Charger should be ready for the Mopar Nats.  Here's to those that are making Ronni's dream come true.   :cheers:

Sticky?

I think it should be! If not then what would it take for a thread to become a sticky? :shruggy:

Just bumping this back up is all, I feel this should be at the top.  :shruggy:

The car is so rough they are selling it to buy another more restorable body, if anybody wants to help this project along it is one of the greatest foundations helping children with nothing but a death sentence ahead of them.......my wife worked for Riley's Childrens Hospital in INDY for years and this was the brightist moment in many of the kids eyes being accepted in the WISH program! YOU will be rewarded beyond your heartfelt help!!!! :2thumbs:
