The mentors of the speedster program are looking forward to working on “T” Speedster #3 this fall with a new group of kids from Roberts High School.   A grant application for $5,000 has been submitted to the Collectors Foundation of Transen City, Michigan to purchase parts and supplies for the upcoming year.

Plans are in the works to sell Speedster #2 next year.  The proceeds will be put back into the program for future support.  The plan is to build a new vehicle each year and sell the previous year’s car to keep the program funded.  

The museum is always open for the donation of Model A and Model T Ford parts for current and future projects.   Donations of cars, parts and money are always welcome and may provide a tax benefit to the donor.

If you would like to be a mentor in the “T” program, Don Blain would like to visit with you.  You need not be an expert “T” mechanic.   More important is your desire to help these young people learn skills like mechanics, woodworking, painting, team work and good workplace habits.   The mentors truly get as much out of it as the kids.  Please contact Don Blain at  503-585-8075 to help!
