Robin,
There are bets here that even though you live in Richmond, you wouldn't show your face at something like this. Help me prove them wrong (you don't even have to help).
Peter

Haha -- reverse psychology FAIL!!!!

Dr. K -- what are you offering as incentive/ motivation to get people out to help? Especially ones who would need to drive down from NoVa/ MD?

Fancy, expensive dinner with high-$ vino? Currys gift cards? This is way over and above luke-warm coffee and crappy pizza.

Just an opportunity to participate and learn first hand about the intricacies of a full restoration and assembling of a classic mid ‘80s (racecar) icon.

I'm offering a ride down and back, opportunity, a warm garage/workshop (if you bring your own car down you can probably work on it there, with help if desired), hot coffee, cold soda, and good, Richmond pizza (or maybe Chinese food, but not sure if Richmond has good Chinese food...). Plus a chance to be part of history (okay, I didn't say good history; more like when the car blows up on its first lap, the chance to say "I told him not to do that!). PLUS: the chance to meet the girl who bought Ben's Bianchi bicycle
