Re: Zane's Ride
I got an email from the auto body instructor today. The kids are working on reinforcing the truck bed to prep it for new wood. He is going to forward photos for me, so I will post pics when I get some.

Re: Zane's Ride
We raised over $1200 at the Zane's Ride bake sale last week! How cool is that! This week, I am giving a pizza party to the kids working on the truck to thank them, so I will have pics to post.

Re: Zane's Ride
Sorry I have not posted for a while!. I have pics from the bake sale and pizza party to post and will probably do that this weekend. My husband does the posting for me, and now he works 6 days a week. He is off Monday, so we will get it done! Also, an update story will be in our local paper soon, and I will post a link so you can see that also.

Re: Zane's Ride
Hey Zanes Mom, my "guy" is working on the glove box badges, it is quite labour intensive for him as he has to draw it all into the program, and it is a gazillion straight lines to get the nice smooth curvy lines! Will get in touch for mailing information once he is done.

Re: Zane's Ride
Glove Box Badge is done, needs the edges smoothed, a couple of spots need some attention, PJ couldn't get the material out of the holes on the "s" and the "e", and will need to be carefully polished.
I can put this in the mail if you PM me the address, or if someone else following says, "hey, I can do the smoothing, tweeking, and polishing" I could send it to them. Material is stainless steel. That is a pic of PJ, thanks PJ!!!

Did you ever get those badges cleaned up? A jeweler could easily do that for you and if you can't find one let me know and I will gladly do it for you.

Re: Zane's Ride
Hey, craigerrr, did you ever get a reply from someone to polish the glove box badge? If not, I can probably find someone local to do it. Let me know. Thanks!

Re: Zane's Ride
I'll be driving up from Miami on Monday, I'll stop in Cambridge Tuesday/ Wednesday to give him a hug for you. Maybe a fist pump, shake hands? Would you believe a pleasing smile! lol

Re: Zane's Ride
Car Wash on July 21 at the school doing the work on the truck; plus a 'mini' bake sale, I think. I will get pics and post them!

Re: Zane's Ride
Sorry I haven't posted in a while! The carwash was a big success - over $600! School starts again on 8/22, so the project can get underway once again. Has the server upgrade been completed? Hope you have all been having a good Summer.

Re: Zane's Ride
Hey, all! Sorry it has been so long since I posted; had to wait for the school year to get started again, and the new students to the program had to have shop safety and rules, etc. Restart of the project involves sandblasting and priming the frame, getting ready to clean and rebuild the engine/transmission, and prepare for brake system installation. I also received a donation from a Mining company for $1000! Next, I am going to talk to local businesses about windshield and upholstery, and I am going to have a chili feed in early November. I am going by the school today to see if I can talk to the teachers, and get any other info.

Re: Zane's Ride
So I checked on the project today! Have some photos to post this weekend. The frame has been pressure washed, and will be sandblasted and primed/powdercoated. Then work will progress on the brakes and engine rebuild. Paint on bedliner was applied to the cab floor, the bed was squared up, some rust repair has been done. The auto body instructor expects that they will get the truck painted this year, and possibly begin some work on the wood bed. A student in the communications track is going to do a student news report, which will also air on a local tv station (a copy of which I am going to send to Make-A-Wish). Also, after the chili feed I will have more photos to post.

Re: Zane's Ride
I have been very busy and I had not seen this thread. It is so great to hear about this project and the wonderful young man who it is a memorial for. I have truely enjoyed reading about this project and seeing how the high school students are getting to build it and put all of the donated parts together. All of you who are helping out, thanks, and God bless you. Zane's Mom, your son would have been a wonderful person to know. Keep up the awesome work fundraising and getting this project to completion.
