Looking for a local club, and someone in the area of Gays Mills. PM me if you can help us out.

A beautiful original car is back on the road. I hope to hook up the owner to those in his area that can help him learn and enjoy the car.

Come on guys throw me a bone. I am thinking eastern minnesota ain't that far away.
Here is a mechanically inclined friend of mine that loves the model a. I will be helping him out with advice, but I am 1500 miles to the west. This car has the original paint, one tail light, out of a time capsule, and he is driving it around town.
There has to be a few sources of original parts in his area, a good local club, someone he could get local help from. Would cut down on my cell minutes too. Thanks ahead of time for stepping up. No one here would need to know.

Looks like it's in the triangular area bounded by Madison, La Cross Wi. and Dubuque Ia.

How far are you from Rochester, MN? They have a good club called the Lady Slipper's, named for the flower.

I know Rochester, got 2 winters under my belt there. That might be a place too far. Have one response 20 miles north. Closest club is 3 hours north. Good thing my friend is the frontier type. I was hoping La Crosse was closer, and had a club. Thanks for the help. Kinda spoiled where I live. 3 clubs in a 30 mile radius.

Latest from the wisconsin woods. There is hope for my friend. He is going to contact the one response I had to my asking for help that is close to him. If anyone else wants to help, PM me and I will pass him on to my friend. I hope someone can eyeball the car to avoid any catastrophies. It is running. The waterpump needs to be rebuilt. I asked him to always respect the original fan blade. It is a widow maker.
Hard to give him good advice from where I am.
