2/6/2012 . . . . **THIS IS STILL AN ACTIVE INITIATIVE**
As many of you are aware, 767Jockey (Doug) has fallen on some hard times. One major issue he is dealing with is his recent cancer diagnosis. As a result of his new medical bills, his life-long dream to build a Cobra is now in jeopardy (he’s been working on it for a few years and it’s about 65% complete, but he was going to have to abandon finishing it).
See the attached thread for details:
My Cobra dream is over - half finished Contemporary high end build for sale - Club Cobra
As per this post, the Club Cobra community is striving to help him in the completion of his half finished Cobra and help him realize a dream. We will be asking Doug to provide us here with a list of parts that are still needed. Members can then purchase these parts for Doug as they wish. We will need Doug to coordinate and update the list as necessary. For those who would prefer to send money directly to Doug, your voluntary donation to his newly established PayPal account will help to make the completion of his car a reality.
Here are the PayPal details:
767Jockey @ gmail.com
Remove the spaces before and after the "@" when you use it in PayPal. These were added to cut down on spam. This is a new email and PayPal account just for this purpose, so emailing Doug at this address isn't going to get a response.
If you wish to mail him a check, or if you have any questions, send a PM to dcdoug here on Club Cobra for more information.
This is a completely voluntary effort. The feeling is that Club Cobra is a world-wide family sharing a common passion and helping a member in need is a worthwhile effort.
Statistics and inventory of the parts and on the number of contributors, and total amount contributed will be posted periodically. Names of contributors will not be posted. We will also try to post pictures when the completion build gets underway.
