He went and helped Stuart Restadt with the engine preparations for the swap for most of the build day, and came back..
Please be sure to include Stuart, and boysatt amongst the build team... The work they did during the build day, and the following several weeks was a part of the entire project.
Synthesis --- are there any pics of Stuart Restadt anywhere... so I can include his profile on the dream team ?
They are back in this thread... Look for the post from Tyler where Stuart came by in his black Notchie to take Tyler for a ride in it. Stuart is very tall, wild hair and a mustache..

I was reading this and it all the sudden hit me how not very long ago his passing was. Now, I'm not usually a softy, but it brought me to tears. I'm glad we got to meet Tyler at the build. The fiero family is amazing. All of you guys just make me smile. I know when we visited Frazee for the show he was there with us in spirit.

Hard to believe it has been almost a year since we were working on Ty’s car. He and his friends and family in the shop, all excited about it. The whole town pouring out giving us anything we needed, food and support. Then cramming all night and the amazing unveiling day. Now the first annual memorial car show has come and past, with many more to come. The memory of it all, and all the people I have had the privilege to meet, it still gets me right in my heart when I think about it. Tyler affected many hearts and lives. I’m sure it will all be refreshed again in my memory when they air the news story about the memorial carshow slated to air a few days from now.

Couldn't have said it better myself, Jason. I still remember speaking with Tyler over Skype in Iraq. He was so humble, and was a man of few words, but you could tell so much how grateful he was. Little did he know that he did more for us than we did for him. And then Valentine's Day hit me in the chest like a bag of bricks. I still remember reading that he had passed and feeling like I couldn't breathe. I remember being angry with God that he would take such a special, innocent child, and deprive the world of his existence. Meeting Daneele, Jay, Cassie, Carter, and Ty's grandparents, it was so apparent how special that young man was. The only regret I have is that I couldn't do more, but I felt so much better after I saw the outpouring of support from you guys, and the rest of PFF and vendors. Because of you all, that boy was able to forget about his grim future, if just for a little while. God bless you guys. Miss you Tyler.

Ditto. I also think about how this build has created so many friendships that will last for many years to come.
It has been nearly a year, and I remember the entire build project, and that weekend as if it was yesterday. I also remember the preceding three weeks of time during the lead up to the build, the phone calls, the businesses all saying "yes".
The first week, I was just calling around to see what I could do. It wasn't until week two that I truly felt an emotional investment...
And the last week leading up to the build was the hardest part.. A lot of anxiety about doing this, and having it done in time, laying deadlines down without having seen the car in person... Hoping that Tyler was happy with the result and would get to enjoy the car before the snow flew.
When Sunday morning rolled around, I was so exhausted I wanted to break down and cry. I was so happy, I wanted to break down and cry.. And I was so damned excited, I wanted to scream out loud.. Tempers got short once in a while, but we moved on and made up, and friendships were built. Every one of us at the build can single each other out in a crowd now. I will never forget the people that were there and that made it happen.
I'd like to keep this thread up and running as long as possible. Just random bumps.
October 9th is exactly a year that we first heard the word cancer. I remember that day more clearly than I remember the days I gave birth to any of my children. A lot of things have happened in this last year that I wish were some horrible nightmare instead of reality... more than a lot...., but the build is not one of them nor the friendships we have left now that Tyler is gone.

RIP Tyler. I followed this story closely and check this thread daily. Is there another active thread on this as I am interested in uocoming events, such as the Tyler Shipman Memorial Car Show.
I know there isn't much building going on with this thread anymore, but maybe you should ask Cliff to put this thread into the construction zone to preserve it and make it much easier for everyone to find. I do think it is worthy of such an honor. What does everyone think?

There is a build thread started by Cliff in the construction zone already. I agree that this thread should never disappear...
Taking the toy for a ride today sometime.... wishing my boy was driving me around on Mother's Day. Just to let you all know that the ripple effect of what you did is still touching our family in a big way
Bump to keep it out of the archives... and because I actually just read the whole story for the first time. I'm so happy to see good people in the world.
