Want me to reach out to Sierra Madre Collection here in SoCal (Eagle Rock)? They have a new facility and it may be good PR for them.



Let me know Aaron.......I can offer my RV lot.......with no rv and BBQ.

Surprised the OC guys are MIA.

Let me know of no one else speaks up. Think the wife is in St.Louis late May but I.ll check.

You could fly into ONT Doc.
yeahmag
Will do. I just dropped Jorge and email.

Basically, we need a 2'x2' area for each builder. Simple as that. Best to have some cover, but by no means does it have to be a large shop.

Wish I could help, but I can only afford a small apartment in OC and I keep two separate garages in SoCal for my car stuff!

How many peeps and gear boxes are expected to show up so far?

Who is bringing replacement parts to sell?

Are we going to be working on the floor?

What about donuts and coffee?
yeahmag
SMC is interested:

“Hi Aaron,

Thank you for your business and for your comments.

We are definitely interested in hosting the clinic and assisting the 914word.com community in any way we can. I'll have Jenna reach out to you tomorrow to work out the details.

I look forward meeting you soon.”

More to come soon.

Don't know, but I expect we max out at 20

Who is bringing replacement parts to sell?
That would be me. If I cant sell replacement parts, I would have to charge more for he class to cover cost/time. Look in my sig below for links to some of the past clinics I have done and how they have been run.

Are we going to be working on the floor?
No. That's not how we do it. Tables will be needed and people often supply their own or the host has some as well.

What about donuts and coffee?
Depending on my resources, yup.

Cool man. Looking forward to seeing whats going on. Also, they may be able to get some new parts for us at volume discount. If they can beat my suppliers, it will be a win win.

Thank you Aaron

I would be interested in coming as well.
Not sure about my trans but I am willing to take it apart for kicks.

I maybe able to get warehouse space from my client if we need a place to work.
Warehouse is located at the Great Park in Irvine......

That would also be a great location, might be closer for most

I am currently on the Rt66 drive and have totally lost fourth gear. Real fun going uphill behind a semi at45 in third...... I am all in if space allows. I will have the box out and apart for inspection and diagnosis....

I will see if I can work it out with the owner.
Should know in the next week or so....

Hang on guys... If I'm going to bother Sierra Madre Collection with this, I don't want to say, "Never mind... We found another spot." That would be completely unprofessional.

Now, if this is a "Plan B" kind of thing, sure, but this is a real vendor with a good location and facility. I've already spoken with Dr. Evil about this location so we need to know *NOW* if this location won't work for the group (as it works for him). I'm scheduled to talk details with them soon.

Great Park option is a backup.

+1 ..... agree.gif! Especially if Sierra Madre Collection will have some parts to sell in addition to Dr Evil parts beerchug.gif

Thanks for the foot work, Aaron!

We are pretty much good to go. I’ve had two discussions with them and we are just hashing out details like dates, food trucks, and booze. This should be fun for everyone!

NICE! I didn't think about food trucks and had figured booze was a no-go. Nice. Getting pumped.

Don't forget Dr. This is California! We can bring-in the best Snoop Dogg grade hashish too....and it is all legal!!!!

LOL, things have changed since I moved away. I never liked weed, not my thing. Also, I would basically be useless at the clinic.

Group: Doc!

Me: Huh?

Group; Doc!!

Me: So hungry....drool

Checking in on the status of further details...
yeahmag
I’m meeting with SMC this week to iron out the details.
Dr Evil
Yup, just waiting on the particulars to book my flight and request time off.
Dr Evil
Screw it, preemptively requested the time off. I need a vacation either way.

Wait, did I miss something? Has the date been set? I'd also like to make my time off request. More importantly, I'm also waiting to set the date of my honeymoon until this is firm. Don't tell my new wife... happy11.gif

Ya, we have always been tentatively planning the last weekend in May, 26-27, and from 9a-5p both days. Unlike last times I did this, we will not be able to do multiple builds per person. I am used to working until 10p-12a on sat, so we will have to adjust smile.gif
