please keep adding to the list

One final thing please list as much contact info as you can for each vendor you list

I will be hard pressed to get this info from 100 different vendors

I'd include EBS (Engine Builder's Supply) and Aase Motors.

any body else?

come on and help put together this list so we can begin to get contact info


I'm aiming to get contact letters out by the end of october, but I need feed back

I handed a flyer to Bob Breshears of Applied Business Concepts (Appbiz) while out at GAF ... Bob manufactures a lot of interior items for 911's and 912's and more recently - 914's (carpet kits, door panels, targa headliners, etc.

Bob and I spoke this morning, and he said he would be happy to donate a carpet kit and a pair of upholstered door panels for the prize/raffle

He goes by appbiz on eBay if you want to see some more of their products.


Bob's business also supplies some of the 'Weltmeister' branded products that Automotion marketed (which was bought out by Performance Products a few years ago, which was just recently bought out by another company).

Appbiz is located in Harbor City, CA - Phone: (310) 539-6183


Bob also provided me with contact info for Dave at TRE Motorsports (818) 509-0257

I can try and call precision motion in riverside

Bruce Napier (GWN7) said he will be supporting the event with some goodies too ...

I can talk to Dan Callicott and see if he can and if he's interested, I talk to him at least once a month.


What about Eric Shea? what about Bruce Stone? The guy from Hemet who does the fiberglass decklid's etc. (I'll think of his name)I can check with these guys.

Thanks for joining us Lou. BD is already on board with us and I am sure Eric will join us also.

Unless someone else takes the reigns , I guess I'm going to be in charge of donations

so as of right now I'm just looking for all of us to make a list of possible "donors"

if you have a solid contact name and business address that will make that part a little easier

We, as a committee ,still need to figure out our estimated cost so we can make some kind of plan or donor level of benefits. IE how to be on licence plates, shirts, handouts etc.


I'm going to add the names to my first post , please add to the list by Replying to the last list in this thread

George: Please do.
The Plates will be about 2k and the shirts I had made up were $1400 for 144 shirts, actulay Robert got them for $9.14 each.
We can sell space on the plate to help cover the cost and we will have a seilent auction to get a little more.
I will donate a nice GT Engine lid for the auction.

I can offer a little help George. Have you got a plan or format you're working with now?

Call me ... 310 628-3911


P.S. I added some contact info to the list.

I spoke with Eric Shea and sent e-mails to Mark Whitesell and Craig Laughlin this AM.

Eric will PM me his list, and Craig just e-mailed his list

... also started an Excel spreadsheet here ...

Ringing

Eric is good for:

(1) Full caliper set (TBD as the fronts are specific to 70-72.8 and 72.8-76) Value = $516.60
(2) Speed Bleeder Sets. Value = $28.00
(1) Full set, front and rear, pad set. Value = $66.00

Total Value $610.60

Thanks Eric if everybody is like you my "job" will be easy lol

I'll send you shipping info in a few months.

I attached the 'Vendor' spreadsheet (Excel) in this post

... added some additional prospects (in red type) and contact info (wherever possible)

Let me know if this works for you guys :confused.



Let me know if/when the sheet gets updated with new info (by any of you boys & girls), PM it to me, and I will repost the updated sheet right here (post # 17) to save space on the server

nice work

I'm going to be working to fill in the missing info over the next few days

After reviewing the Art I think this is going to be the letterhead

James and Hidi @ morphensprecta

Added them & their contact info to the spreadsheet (see edited post # 17 above)

-------------------

EDIT 1/15/09:

Initial contact with Mark Whitesell (aka 'Mikey914' / 914Rubber.com) was successful. (I recently ordered 2 targa roof/window seal sets from him ... and while I was at it, pitched the event)

He will be happy to provide some items. I said we would mail him an 'Official" notice/request

-------------------

EDIT 1/16/09:

I contacted Perry Kiehl ('9146986') this morning. I ordered 2 Steering Rack Seal Kits from him (for my personal consumption), and he graciously donated one kit for the event ! ... its in the mail to me as of today


Here's a [partial] snapshot of the Vendor List (as of 1/16):

Added Mark Engman to the list and sent him an 'introductory' e-mail through his web site tonight ...

(see updated list in post # 17)

I talked to Kathy Calicott, because of Dan's health, he has closed Calicott Motorsports.
