Default New guy here for a cause

Hello everyone. I just stopped on here to introduce myself properly and let everyone know why Im here. Some have you already may have seen the thread in the other section for my friend Ryan.

Heres the link for those have not seen it:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/in-l...k-you-all.html


But I am here to fulfill Ryans plans on his Z06. We always connected with cars and we have had many good times with this car and I promised him that I will complete his car just the way that he would have wanted it. So with that said I will frequent the boards for more knowledge, tech tips, and parts in my quest to complete Ryans Vette.


Thanks Everyone!

Jon

Wow Jon, that In Memoriam thread is a real inspirational tear jerker. You are a true friend for taking up the cause to complete Ryan's project. God bless you my friend. And Welcome to the Forum! I'm sure the brotherhood will take care of you and Ryan's Vette. God speed.

Jon let me start by welcoming you to the Forum. After reading the story about Ryan the only thing I could do is just set there and look at the computer feeling completely over whelmed by his situation. I'm glad He has a friend like you that will carry on with his dream at time when can't. My thoughts and prayers go out to Ryan, his family and friends and a most difficult time for everyone. Please let us know how Ryan is doing and how his car is coming along. If I were there I would lend a hand in the project but the only thing I can do is offer my prayers and wish you well on the car.
