Laguna Hills HS F100 build update

Been a while since I`ve posted, lot`s of news. The Collectors Foundation (we received a10k grant for the build) has now partnered with the LeMay Automotive Museum in Tacoma WA. It is the biggest collection in the US and from what I have heard in the world - anywhere from 2500 to 3000 collector cars, motorcycles and even tractors! We are on their website now. LeMay Museum Take a few minutes and tour the website, lot`s of cool stuff. Go to their facebook and we have 2 videos plus a picture album. You`ll see how we`re coming along. Please give us some likes and comments - every bit helps. DJM suspension is starting the build story also, it`s not up yet but Mark from DJM is on it so stay tuned. Rear has been lowered and we`re finishing up the front kit and building the interior also. Engine install next. Needless to say this has been quite an experience and we have a ways to go. Robert, I`ll be talking to you soon to get you and your buddies trucks over to visit us as we had talked about.

Great job Tim. The truck is taking shape. I wish I had that opportunity at their age. I'm sure those kids are loving it. Good job again.

Hey Tim, Good to see an update post. Post some pictures of the build when you can. We definitely need to set up the truck show. You still have my number? Give me a call so we can set that up. I'll need a little time so I can round up a few members and trucks.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Truck pics

All our pics and videos are on the Lemay Museum website/facebook. I encourage everyone to take a look. Give us some "likes" and please comment. There are some already. The more we get it starts to steam roll and before you know it the Museum really takes a close look at high school programs and starts to get those grants out to them. This is a new venture for them as far as the actual grant process goes, that`s why the Foundation joined forces with them. This is a big deal and these forums are a perfect way to get the word out.

You're welcome, Tim! It's a cool project and fun to see these kids interested in it. I look forward to seeing it in person one of these days.
