Well done and I hope Ei has many, many years of enjoyment.

I am so glad to have been involved in the project. After meeting Eli in person,I began to understand the struggle to survive that he faces on a daily basis. The smile on his face when the car was unvailed was priceless.

Great job to all !

That car looks terrific. I'll have to ask Eli to take me for a ride. Amazing job and so kind of everyone involved

This is all I got...

Hey Ralph, could you please PM me Eli's email address so I can send him the art of his Dart?

I am proud and blessed to have Ralph as a friend.

There will be a special place in heaven for Ralph, Gary, Pam and everyone else involved in this project and I am so glad that I could help, even in a small way.

I am going to post two pictures that I think say it all.....

Very nice!!

Unfortunately, cancer was a recurring topic at Carlisle this year from Paul Wilson of MCG who passed away the day before the show started to John Kozak who I had only been made aware of about 2 weeks before the show. John owns the beautiful green Fury that was on the Stage all weekend. John's story was heartbreaking to say the least. His longtime girlfriend had passed away just 30 days before the Chrysler show and all John wanted was to attend Carlisle and thanks to some great friends he was able to attend.

I heard about Eli from another Carlisle staff member and I just wanted to do something. Ralph's account in the original post pretty much tells the rest of the story. We had no idea what we were getting into but we needed a place to do the work. I put out a few feelers to some shops that I know but they had obligations and couldn't fit it in on such short notice.

After that I immediately thought of Gary and Pam Beineke because they have a fully equipped shop but they don't do customer cars. I sent Gary an email hoping that he'd get back to me in a couple of days. WRONG! He called me in less than 1/2 an hour telling me that he had already talked to Pam and they were in!!!

From there it was time to start looking for parts, supplies, etc and folks stepped up big time! Please take a look at the show board and consider those folks first the next time you need parts.

Thank you to everyone involved. As Eli said, he now has something positive to look forward to.

What an absolutely amazing story of selflessness and genuine human kindness. Congrats to Ralph for organizing such an incredible project and coordinating everything ... this is really a heartwarming story and shows that not all car guys are meatheads.. .I actually believe that most car guys enjoy the camaraderie and 'brotherhood' that goes along with the hobby... you are a perfect example of that. Great job!

Another great shot I snagged off Facebook.

It was a great day,Ralph,you and the Mopars in Motion crew did an awsome job with the show!

Great job, y'all!!

Thanks, Ralph!!

God bless all involved. You ALL went way above and beyond. My hat is off to all of you.

That just made my day! Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations Eli!
I'm glad that I could be a small part of this project and be there for the presentation. It can't be said enough that thanks to Gary, Pam, Pete, Ralph, Ed and everyone else who donated their time, expertise, parts, money or otherwise helped, this team effort pulled off the creation of a beautiful, unique car in such a short time.

Eli and Gary
