After the latest of several sad viewings of Shamou (Spy's 3000GT VR4) for those not in the know) in his coma, I've started hatching a plan.
 Here are my thoughts: At our core, DSMcentral is car club  and we essentially exist to help each other out with our DSMs. Well, we have one of our longest standing members in need here. Shamou's been down for the count and won't be back up without a pretty big effort.I'm proposing a joint effort from some of our senior members to put 'ol Shamou back on the road. With my fiance out of town on the week of June 1-10, I'm proposing a project weekend (June 4-5). I'm thinking with an experienced crew and a weekend of all nighters we can transplant the motor and get Shamou streetable again. Resources that I would like to offer to help make this happen: Complete shop access for the entirety of the weekend (Fri 5pm- Sun midnight) Towing/transport of the car and motor to KOU A weekend of labor and late nights Accomodation (at my apartment and or the shop) and groceries for those competent and willing to make this happen. Heck, I'll stock the fridge at the shop and grill for everyone. Who's with me? Nate, Marcus, James, Eric? Any closest 3KGT experts here? Netter, Daryl? I think this would make a great DSMcentral project/event page to show everyone how we can pull together as a car club! Anyone else think we can pull this off?

Hmm, maybe I should have mentioned getting formal permission from Spy for this too.

I won't be in town from the 5th through the 10th but I'd be able to do it the 1st through the 4th. I'll be in Orlando, Florida the 5th-10th so you guys will have to keep me up to date over vacation.

I'll try to make it out. Last time I checked I was still competent enough to tighten lugnuts, so at least I could do something.

I don't know anything about the ProE conference. I'm going with my girlfriends parents to a timeshare conference so that we get discounted rates for Disney tickets. That's pretty much where I'll be for five days, lost in an expanse of nothing but cartoon characters and midgets. Oh well, there are a few bars in downtown Disney so I figure I'll hit those.
