    Hi guys and gals.. I just found the site again after my disappearance .. I have been fighting cancer for the last few years.. First I had Multiple Myeloma cancer.. It was in between the disc's of my back.. They flew me to Vancouver and gave me radiation .. Then we did the stem cell .. They took out my cells and cleansed them and then terminated mine in my body.. They then injected mine back but during this you have no immune system and I got very sick and they put me a comma for three weeks.. I kind of shut down.. I was on a kidney machine and had no strength in my legs.. Had to learn to walk again.. Just to stand with a walker and two girls holding me up for twenty seconds was so hard to do. Anyway in all told I was over three years recovering.. I was just declared cancer free and then I got Sarcoma cancer.Bin a year fighting this one. That is a tumor.. Started out like a charley horse in my leg.. It grew to fifteen LB'S in my leg.. From my knee to my belly button almost.. They operated on me to take it out last Oct.. I have been healing now for four months and my wound is still healing.. Real slow after radiation and in the groin area.. Hope to be healed by summer.. Well that my story or intro or my reintroduction.. That my tory and I sticking to it.. Hi to every one..

    Thank you for the welcome back reply's.. I still have my stock pile of cars.. I had to sell my pair of 55 Crown Victoria's to help get through.. Not been able to work for four years but hoping for a bit of a comeback.. I have kept most of my car stuff and my shop.. It has all been kind of in a state of suspended animation.. Still watching for a wagon but one step at a time.. I have the ingredients to make a 1978 Thunderbird wagon.. I have both a T Bird and a 77 Cougar wagon to make a T Bird wagon.. It would be a two door with the slanted forward B pillar. I a long way from being able to do that kind of a project but it has not left my mind..

    Kevin Schoening did a photo shop for me of what I would like to build.. I am still a long way from being able to do this but the dream is there.. I have a rusty Cougar wagon and there are some T birds kicking around here so maybe..

    Hey, there you are! :Welcome: back.

    Gosh you sure have been through the mill. I'm guessing your pretty bull headed. Stay strong.
