denny411 Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 While searching for some MGB info, I ran across an mgb helpers list. After looking over the list, I thought it might be a good idea for us Hybridz`ers to compile and post such a list. It would be nice to know that help or access to some tools would be available when traveling far from home. Here`s the link to use as an example. http://webferret.search.com/click?wf,+%2Bmgb+%2Bnashville,,lonestarwebs.c om%2FMGhelp.html,,fastsearch Let me know what Ya`ll think.

Guest Anonymous Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 Good idea, Denny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 Good idea. I'm hoping I WON'T need that going/coming to the Southeast Z Shootout. Maybe if someone with the right skill set writes the code/page, we can get SuperDan to link to it or host it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimzdat Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 I could set up a simple "guestbook" style form for people to input the info they want posted, and then update the HTML as needed--I've got room to host it if Dan doesn't--it's a simple solution, but it'll work for something like that Maybe we should start a poll to see if there's enought interest? OK, I threw a quick form together--how about this: HybridZ helpers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted August 25, 2002 Author Share Posted August 25, 2002 I personally wouldn`t hesitate to make a 100 mile run with my trailer to help out a fellow Z`er in need. I`ve driven alot further than that, just to walk around a mall all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimzdat Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 bump--this could be a nice resource, let's get some comments from everyone on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted August 26, 2002 Author Share Posted August 26, 2002 We`ll probably have to bump it up tommorow. Not too many people here on sunday eve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwink25 Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 I would be willing to help out a member in need if they had car trouble or something in my area. I may not be able to offer much, but whatever I can do to help is better than nothing, right? Jason W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 I have helped several guys from this board already (both hybrid and non-hybrid Zs), and would always be willing to help someone out who is travelling...good idea, Denny.

jimzdat Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 OK, I now have a page setup for everyone to see the list, along with a page to submit your info to be put on the site: Helpers page Helper submission form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest buschj Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 I think this would be a great addition to the site. I helped my friends build their V8 Z’s twenty years ago when I was devoted to my 65’ Mustang, now they are at my house every weekend. I would be glad to help people in my area.

Mike kZ Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 This is cool! I sent my info, your turn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted August 26, 2002 Author Share Posted August 26, 2002 I signed in too One more suggestion would be to add Canada for our northern friends. I think this will be a very usefull recource, that hopfully non of us will ever need, but why go without a safety net if you don`t have too. For now I`ve got my Ohio info listed. but if anyone is in need in eastern Alabama, I listed my cell# so don`t hesitate to call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimzdat Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 Thanks--I'd totally forgotten about Canada (sorry to everyone that lives up there) I'll get it added in shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimzdat Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 OK, Canada is now added in If I screwed up any province names or abbreviations, let me know--I'm working with a list I found online, so I don't know if it's 100% correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JAMIE T Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 I signed up. I'm a welder/fabricator. I have a trailer and full welding equipment(even aluminum). Plus tools and access to lifts and a chassis dyno(if you really want to know what you've got) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimzdat Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 Jamie--your info never got to me--try and resubmit it. I checked the page and it's still working right, so I don't know why it didn't go thru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 Jim, my application never went thru so I emailed you the "vitals". I got it figured out. When the list is finalized, I will begin pushing my project down the highway in Oregon and somewhere in or around New Jersey the car will be complete. To get it finished sooner, I will by pass Pete P's state.LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruez Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 Well, I guess you already know mine was submitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimzdat Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 OK--latest question about the list posed by Cruez): Should the list be password protected to keep spammers and other undesirables from accessing the info? We would have to get SuperDan to put the access info up on this site somewhere for people to use, but I don't think that would be much of a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
