Pictures from Operation Comfort - Autogeek in San Antonio, Texas
Max and I returned late Friday night, so today I did my best to go through all the pictures taken on multiple different cameras and put together and article that shares our experience from our trip to the Lonesome Dove Rance to help out Operation Comfort's Automotivation Program.
Here's a shot as you approach the Automotivation Facilities, this is a functioning ranch with lots of cattle and land but they've converted this one building over to automotive use only. There's a repair area, a paint booth and prep area and then plenty of sections for car projects.
Out back there's hay being stored out of the weather... just to the right side of the hay are a few classic cars and I'll post pictures of these later...
In the section where my class will be is an A.C. Cobra replica being built by Veterans in the Automotivation Program. The Cobra was obtained from a grant provided by USAA and necessary parts were donated by local area Cobra clubs here in Texas.
On Wednesday while setting up I snagged some shots of Bruno Massel working with Veterans to get the brand new engine fired up and running in their Weapons Carrier Project, which will be on display at SEMA
From this point of view, my back is to the A.C. Cobra and I'm shooting across to another section where the Weapons Carrier is being worked on.
Here's Jeff Abbot from Painless Performance Products dialing-in the fuel system.
Here's Bruno talking with Chris who lost his leg during his tour of duty in Iraq
In the background you can see Max watching as I moved around the back to get some behind the scenes pictures...
This is Benjamin, he was all over the place, wherever the action was he was there to help out...
