Automotive artist with an unusual request

[Del Swanson]

My name is Del Swanson and I'm losing my brother-in-law to Cancer. We are a car family with mostly old Fords ranging from 1937 to 1967. We respect and understand old cars and hot rods. Mike, my brother-in-law, has always loved Cobras and wanted to build one someday.
I'm asking that someone would let Mike drive his or her Cobra. I know that is a lot to ask from a complete stranger, but Mike is one of the best human beings I've ever met. If someone will let mike drive their Cobra, I will do a cartoon illustration of their car. To see my work, check out http://swansonartworks.blogspot.com.
Mike is running out of time at 51 years of age with only about a month left to be with us. I'm doing this as a suprise because I don't want to get his hopes up if no one is willing to do this for him. We live in the Milwaukee, WI area. Please contact me at delswanson@wi.rr.com or 1-414-813-7947

Thank you from all of him family, Del Swanson

Moderators, I apologize if this is in the wrong place. If it is, please move it.

Del,

I'm sorry to hear of your friend's condition. It's a good thing you are attempting to do for him. I would love to help but I live in the Atlanta area ... best of luck to you in your effort.

Very sorry to hear about your brother-in-law, and it's really thoughtful of you to try to do something for him. Pretty big contingent of Roadsters in the Chicago area. Maybe someone in the area, especially north, could help? Maybe post in the midwest region forum on FFCars?

Pretty long haul from Wisconsin to SE Michigan. But if you came my way, could work something out with mine. Love your art BTW. Very cool.

Thank you everyone, your responses mean a lot. I have a possible lead so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it happens before he's too weak. If it happens, I'll video and share it.
