Help Hondaman (Mark)
« on: July 17, 2017, 08:29:53 AM »
We've all benefited in one way or another from Mark's knowledge. The guy sent me a carb body for the price of shipping in addition to answering emails w questions. He's always willing to reach out and help anyone looking for assistance.  Mark lost his job recently so I thought, could we start a go fund me page for him?  I don't know how to start one.

I certainly don't want to offend Mark by doing this so if he feels this is not a good idea let us know or have the post squashed.

Send him motor work and prepay all the expenses and possibly the ball park estimate, then he has the cushion to fund your build and help him make ends meet while looking for that next job.  The end you settle the account unless the scope expands and you send him more.  Idea is you are only looking at small amount at end and coving shipping to get it back.
