Time for another transmission rebuild clinic, Where???? Options

[Dr Evil]

Rubber boa tried to get a clinic set up in the PNW, but that seemed to fall through. I dont know why, but I am interested to hear any suggestions.

Anyhow, I am open to doing the same thing I did last time; fly to a place, teach a bunch of people how to rebuild their boxes, make some $$ and friends. The thing is, I dont know where. That is where you all come in.

Who wants a transmission clinic in their home town?

I am open to anywhere, but special consideration will be given if there is free lodging and a place to do the work. Those who provide the lodging and work space pay $0. If you have frequent flier miles to help with the ticket that would kick ass as well. Last time Trevor hooked it up. The cost was $300 per person with a gear box last time, free for spectators. $300 got you a rebuilt tranny at the end of the event provided you didnt need any parts. If you need parts, and no one did, you will be able to install them when I am done with you. If I have used parts available then you either get them free or at a serious discount if I have limited quantities. You also get unlimited Q/A with me, all of my tips for how to get it done right, my special tools at your disposal, and supplies for the clinic.

Here is the thread from the last event:

You can see that everyone felt that it was well worth the cost.

So, let the bidding begin!, Where am I going?

OK everyone. There WILL be a clinic in the PNW, probably OR, probably Portland as there is an overwhelming response for that spot and lots of hosts. We need to coordinate. I need to know how many paying people are in vs just people wanting to watch. For any of these clinics you can bring as many boxes as you want so long as you do the work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Not bad for $300. I will bring seal kits for sale for $40 and spare parts (depending on what I have left as I have about 8 boxes to do and they may drain my supplies). We will be better served if everyone takes their gear stacks out first se I can inspect them and order any parts that we may need, but this wont be mandatory and you will be able to fix what ever after I am done with you. Plus, I will always be available after the clinic for help. People need to beat the bushes to get as many people as possible to come.
Here are the people who spoke up for the PNW:
- Shade Tree (Host)***
- my928s4
- rdauenhauer
- jmmotorsports
- Rubber Boa
- PanelBilly
- BKLA (host for <10)
- Wilhelm
- Gary
- Larouex

Next place that is doable, SoCal. I do not have a host offer in So Cal yet, but I bet if ya'll talked to Joe Sharp we can easily get a set up there and have a huge turn out that would warrant (pay for) a flight out there.
Here are the ones who spoke up and that I hope will get some more interest:
- Heeltoe914
- computers4kids
- carlilg
- jim_hoyland
- 0396

Next up, Atlanta! I bet if ya'll down there put the word out we can get enough people to warrant a trip down there. I am willing if you get the numbers. I will also need a host.
Here are those that spoke up:
- michaelmoo
- Joe Owensby

Mid Atlantic, this should be stupid easy to get going. This is a must. We have a host offer in South NJ. I know Richie would host in Brooklyn, but that would be cramped I think. We need to beat the bushes as this takes less planning as I can drive there. Lets go men!
- SLKWrx (host)
- Cupomeat

( I am seeing Cupomeat tomorrow AM for a tranz drop off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) )

Here are the other following places. I am willing to go anywhere if there are enough people to finance the ticket and make it a worth while trip! Dont be down because you dont have the numbers, yet. See if you can recruit people (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

North East
- firstknight13 (host)
- r_towle (host)

NorCal
- RobW (Host)

Mid West

OH
- dflesburg
WI
- jmill (host and lots of resources. PLEASE find more people, this would rock)


South
TX
- tat2dphreak

I will be contacting those that have offered to host that are in areas that are most likely to work out. I'll contact the others when the numbers increase.
