I’d like to take the suggestion of escorting the delivery truck with Dwayne’s car on it the last mile or so from Port Orford to Dwayne’s house and work on it.
I’m linked with the Northwest Factory Five group and would like to see if any of the NWCC members would be interested.
There are a huge number of things that would have to be coordinated for this to happen and it looks like it may be on an extremely short time line.
Most important will be finding out what the ETA of the car is and what routing it’s taking to get to Port Orford.
I spoke with SAI this morning but the individual who has the delivery information is out of the office and won’t be back until tomorrow. I’ll be calling them again tomorrow morning. The individual I spoke with didn’t feel that it would be a problem.
If this thing happens at all it will probably happen very quickly and may be beyond my capabilities to put it together but I’ll give it a try.
My basic idea is to have anyone participating meet in a central location in Port Orford and pick up the truck carrying the car and travel with it from whatever location is chosen to Dwayne’s home. My mapping program shows him a little way out of town but no more than a mile.
Getting to Port Orford from the Portland area is about a 5 hour trip given routing and roads. Convoying from the Portland area would be a reasonable way to go but, again, schedules, times and dates will have a major impact.
This is all pie-in-the-sky thinking right now but let’s see what develops.
