The Old Motor, McPherson College Fundraiser ends on friday and we just wanted to post this as a reminder, that there is still time to contribute and you can find more info and all the details of how to do so here.

So far our readers and others from the Ford Barn, the H.A.M.B. and the AACA forums have contributed about $2500 so far, along with the possibly some other direct equipment donations. According to Vice President of Auto Restoration Director, Amanda Gutierrez, the school is planing on adding the funds into their Red Wrench Club fund to do the following; “We’re purchasing a power hammer, a TIG welder, wiring up our dust collectors, and a few other things that we’re still determining”.

For a more information on the non-profit McPherson College Restoration Program go directly to the College here, you can read about the most recent fundraiser in the programs newsletter, which will be used to help students with housing and expenses while participating as interns out in the collector car world. You can also read an article written by Jim Spawn that was in The Restorer, the Model A Ford Club of America magazine, which will also give you a very good explanation of the Program.

Again thanks to all that have helped and just remember, that you can also donate to the program anytime in the future, in many different ways.

We will have a follow-up soon after the fundraiser is over.

Yes, we have students from around the world. In the Restoration program, we currently have two from Canada and one from England.
