What I am thinking and have had 6 or so phone conversations today with my people at Universal is a basic clean up and maybe some donated parts from time to time if they so arose. I am not looking for them to release this car to a bunch of us guys to restore it to like new condition, but to slow the deterioration -- less liability. So far I am getting pretty good results and most of them seem pretty open to the prospect. I am waiting for a call from the guy who "owns" it at the park to return my car. He is the main person in charge or maintenance on the "D". Basically what I did was tell them a group of owners who show their cars would like every 6 months or every year to drop in, do a nice inside and out cleanup, and take note of any parts we might be able to "easily" replace. Then if these parts come up somewhere, we can then replace them. Personally I would love to see an old mediocre front and rear fascia donated. The ones on the car are terrible as stated, but even ok ones would be better. I am sure there are a few owners out there who have one in storage, I know I have a rear one with only a tiny crack on one side, but otherwise looks new. I would be willing to throw that in as there is not much value damaged. Maybe this will pan out, I for one would have a ball going in before or after the park is open and have a few hours playing around with the car, even though it isn't a real screen used time machine.
