Have been away for a while but have not forgotten the support I received from this site. For those that have assisted me in with parts, Info and support (Todd, Carl Ash...) with my 68 Resto it came to a stop.
After needing a new frame and with all that it required I got about 1/3 of the way through when I was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer (I consider myself blessed and lucky as I am literally one of the few that it was caught early enough). I took the time to enjoy family and Grandchildren but now that I am past 3 years clear the risk for re-occurrence has greatly diminished and I find myself needing to get back into the garage.
Prognosis and cost to complete the restoration has now gone beyond the time and cost of what I want to exert so I have been "hunting" for another project. On that note are there any members in the Port Colborne area of Ontario that would have a bit of time to check out a 68 for me.
Once again, it is good to be able to post on the site and re-engage with everyone.
Glad to hear you're feeling better and more confident in the future. It does sound like you need some garage therapy all right. Hopefully you can get going on a project that brings you some satisfaction!
I was thinking of you a few months back when I happened to see the picture of the PEI coffee break we took, I believe that was fall of 2012. Don't be a stranger!

Thanks everyone, its great to be back! and yes Darrell lots of grey hair. My wife is in PEI for another week with the 5th wheel (Old Home Week) she looked at a house up your way on White Road (Just off Blueshank) It also has its own fishing pond. We sold the Cottage in Georgetown, PEI and have been over less frequently than we should but am looking into retiring next year and moving back. Next time I am over for an extended stay I will drop a line to you and Todd.
Attached is what we use in place of the cottage F250 6.7l Turbo Diesel and a Keystone Cougar 28RKS.
