This item is a piece of wall art. The tank has been converted in a piece of art that mounts on any wall. The theme is "BLESSINGS" and features many little children. Children are blessings from God. The project is finishing up at Ron's Buff & Wax with the final clear coats and polishing. More pictures to come.
Here it is - the Corvette Clock

Fabrication is underway for a three foot aluminum clock featuring LED lighting. The clock theme is a 1963 Corvette Split Window. Pictures will be shown as it progresses. Jerry Funk is doing an amazing job of fabrication as always. This man is talented. A special thanks to Randy Sellers for helping us under a time crunch to create the laser cut pieces. Thank you Randy for your kindness and skillful help in 2016. The clock is getting to its final steps of fabrication. Kei Greene is working on the air brushing, then back to the shop for the final clear coats, sanding and polishing. Then the final assembly with the LED lighting.

It's TIME! For three years we have been investing in our local community Children's Playground project. And of course we will continue to work on it. But it is also time to begin developing the next phase of reaching children and their parents. For the sake of children and for the sake of the cause, we are committed to starting a restoration program for children and their parents. It's time to start raising the funds to build the building that will have many purposes. Children and parents working together under the leadership of businessmen who are skilled at the restoration hobby. Join us in helping to make this vision a reality. Thank you MECUM family for your kind and generous help. You are an amazing family.
Funding begins for the Family Restore Center
August 3-5, 2017 is a special set of days for Bradley Diehl and Pastor John. Bradley volunteered to go with Pastor John to the MECUM Harrisburg 2017 Auto Auction at the PA Farm Show Complex. We met some great people. We are thankful for how generous people were FOR THE CHILDREN AND THE CAUSE.

Restoring Relationships and Rides
We are now accepting donations for a future building.
We care about children. We care about their parents.
We believe there is a need to restore and strengthen those relationships.

A building is necessary to start the program.
These 3 men were the first donors.
$1.00 from each. We are grateful for each donation.
