Ehh it happens. I think theres one other one I owned. If this reunion thing happens me and my friend julia are going to make a trip out there with my firebird. Hell if its during the summer it would be one hell of a fun drive.
hello everyone just trying to figure out how to post on here .have been on the sight for awhile and have been watching tylers progress and it has been awsome any tip let me know please. if this works will post pic of my 86 and how do you post pic. thanks for any info and keep up the good work on tylers car
I wish I could have made it to the build, but it was a busy weekend for me. This is a little late in the game, I wanted to have these done and shipped before the build, but it just didn't happen. So, here they are, a set of GT custom vents. These are made from 16 ga 304 stainless steel with a #4 finish I just have to find a box and get them in the mail.
I know I know the R didn't come out right. This was the first try. I didn't want to peal the pvc protective film off of the good set and have them get scratched in shipping. These should fit nicely or be very close since I can't seem to get feedback from people that I have sold these to. 3 vents will be shipped.
Hey Fred, what about the other key chains I gave you? Your holding out aren't you? In case anyone is wondering I also cut 2 matching key chains especially for Tyler (Fred is going to put his finish on them) and I have made special key chains to commemorate the occasion.
Wow... Andy's speech totally blew me away. I wanted to let everyone know that the flag is flying high at Frazee High School as of Monday. Tyler, Carter, and I stopped by to see it last night on our way home. We didn't realize it had already been raised until yesterday afternoon, so I am not sure if there was any fanfare with that. Tyler opted out of the ceremony in front of the school because he again is not one to enjoy the spotlight but also because it is hard for us to plan things as well. Some days he's tired, some days he is in pain, some days he just doesn't feel like getting out of bed, some days he feels good. Hopefully everyone understands Tyler's reasons behind opting out. I am sure it is tough to feel like everyone is always looking at you and I don't know if I could have handled everything that has come his way half as well as he has. The cold weather also adds an additional stressor to planning outings, although Tyler and Carter did manage to hijack me and we were in town about 3-4 hours last night. I think I am more pooped today than them. Anyway, I plan on stopping to get a picture of the flag today at the school, will take pictures when the Guard comes to our house, copying Andy's speech, and then I am sending the whole works to the local Frazee paper as well as Detroit Lakes paper. Any suggestions about any other papers? I would like to send it to Andy's home town paper - I need to know what the name of that if anyone has that. I want everyone knows what Andy did for our family and is doing for our country. I know Tyler isn't a US soldier, but we are so honored that this was done for him.

Daneele,
We fully understand the reasons you guys chose to opt out of the presentation. That is not a problem at all.
For the photos/story that you want to send to the newspapers, the Star Tribune would like to run a brief followup to the car project, and I feel that the flag would make a good addition to the story.
Please email the photos to me as well if you would. synssins@yahoo.com
nellieship --- take alot of photos so we can UPDATE Tyler's website... you can also call me and I will walk you through uploading the photos to the FTP server

Tyler may not be a US Soldier, but he epitomizes and displays characteristics equal to the courage and dedication of those who are. Not sure how exactly to say it, but I believe it safe to say we've taken away from this project far more than we gave.
I dont know if this has been posted yet or not but this is pretty cool. A blogger on youtube has taken notice to our little project a few weeks ago. I have seen a few of his video blogs and he speeks the truth. Thankyou for the kind words

Exactly my feelings. Andy in Iraq, and everyone who built the car, donated parts or facilities, and everyone who supported this in any way, or prayed about this. I think about how much Tyler has unknowingly done for us, how much we have taken away and how much it has shown us. So many hearts impacted by this, it is more than we can know. When I heard this song it made me think about this, the more I listened I realized what I heard was it talking about Tyler.

We are all better people for having adopted the Shipman family as our own, and contributing to this project. If ever there was an answer to the age old question, "what is the meaning of life", this was it. Great people all coming together for a great cause.
*** nellieship *** Please contact me ASAP ... a Los Angeles screenwriter/producer is trying to get hold of you via your website tylerstoy.com Danyel 418-eight-three-eight-5179 ASAP
And the role of GTGeff with rubber gloves and all.......Dan Aykroyd or Jim Belushi for me please. LOL
I have a little gift for the Build Team to send out. So, that means I need addresses. Please PM me those.
Rich Herring (silver 85 sc) wanted to attend the build but could not due to other obligations. Rich has donated his programming time, material, and laser time to provide us with a small keepsake for the build team.
I am taking care of finishing each key fob and making sure they are sent out to all the people involved.
These are made from 18 gauge 304 stainless steel and measure 1-1/2" wide x 2" tall. The key fobs will be finished with a 600 grit 3M deburring wheel.
You guys that spent time in Frazee on November 21st, PM me those addresses or I will be after you.
Fred
Do you think Boyd H from Kare 11 should get one? He was as much a part of the team and is responsible for doing an excellant job of telling Tyler's story.

Just a thought. Jeff
I would have to agree as well. I am sure he would like one.
