First session: April 13 & 14, 2020 (Monday & Tuesday)

Second session: April 16 & 17, 2020 (Thursday & Friday)

Third session: April 20 & 21, 2020 (Monday & Tuesday)

Fourth session: April 23 & 24, 2020 (Thursday & Friday)

Fifth session: April 27 & 28, 2020 ( Monday & Tuesday)


I like to limit the number of attendees per session from 10 to 8 this time. So participants would have more time and hands on experience tearing down and assembling the engine. Thanks.

Tony

Marc 718B called my attention to the typographical error for the Second session (April 16-17). The email I sent out to everyone on the list has the wrong dates (April 15-16). It should be April 16-17 (Thursday & Friday). Please be advised of the correct dates. Thanks.

I wasn’t exactly clear on when you need the deposit by

You said “I would need a refundable deposit of $100 and the balance paid by the end of November 2019”

Scott,

Not until I received a refundable deposit from the registrant would your seat be guaranteed. There are 34 officially in the list and it is only August. I only need 40 people like I had before. Right now, there are 8 people who sent their $100 deposit and they have the date and seat reserved.

Nobody is going to lose money. If for some reason you could not attend due to work schedule or personal reason, I will refund your money. However, if you notify me after January 31, 2020, you have to wait until I find a replacement. And refund your money.

Tony

[ramonesfreak]

Ok I misunderstood. So you need the deposit ASAP to reserve. I’ll get it out via PayPal in a couple days

Tony I'd be interested in attending a mid to late 2020 class.

Do you have a website or FB page where one can view details? I haven't had time to read all 14 pages of this thread yet.

This is awesome. As a young person (26) who works in tech and pretty much zero mechanical background I've even gone as far to ask a local Porsche mechanic if I could apprentice under him for free after hours or on weekends just so I can learn. I would definitely pay to attend a class like this.

Is this class good for people of all skill levels?

Absolutely. I attended the class in April of 2018 and really enjoyed the hands on tear-down/rebuilding and getting to know other Pelicans. The class more than anything builds confidence to take on a future project. It can be considered one of the nice to have tools when doing a rebuild. You will work and follow along with Wayne Dempsey's How to rebuild and modify engine handbook so make sure you have that.

I had to take a minute and express my gratitude for what Tony is doing. I have been working on cars for the last 18 years, I have learned that nothing beats a hands on experience. No amount of reading, listening, whatever can top it.

The thing I love about Tony is he has a true hot rodders mentality. Always willing to help the other guys out and share his knowledge. I come across a lot of people in this industry and that is not always the case.

While I have built a few engines in my day, this was my first 911. I am not sure it would have been possible without his help.

To the guys who are taking the class, enjoy it, enjoy every minute of it. Take notes, joke, enjoy the guys you are with. These are the things that make me really love what I do.

[ramonesfreak]

Deposit sent via PayPal. If you didn’t get it please let me know. Thanks

Fred,

I am sure that the participants including myself would be delighted to have your presence as our special guest. These are the schedules for April 2020:

Group I: April 13~14 (Monday & Tuesday) 8:00 AM-5:00 PM
Group II: April 16~17 (Thursday & Friday) 8:00 AM-5:00 PM
Group III: April 20~21 (Monday & Tuesday) 8:00 AM-5:00 PM
Group IV: April 23~24 (Thursday & Friday) 8:00 AM-5:00 PM
Group V: April 27~28 (Monday & Tuesday) 8:00 AM-5:00 PM
Group VI: April 30~May 1 (reserved only if needed)

The first Engine Rebuilding Classes we had in April 2018 had only about 3 months to prepare when it was conceived. This time, we have about 8 to 9 months to get ready. The venue is in Norristown, PA but the exact address is not yet finalized at the moment. Right now, I have two (2) locations to choose from and make the arrangement.

In behalf of the participants we WELCOME you. Thank you.

Tony
