Thanks Ian. Still looking forward to talking to you when it comes time for suspension questions. I was able to find a pair of 3.5" Koni Struts and 72+ S Calipers for the '72. Will need help dialing in the torsion bars and picking out the right shocks. Thanks for the kind words about my daughter.

Your project and posts were and are one of the best things about Pelican for me and I can’t wait until you are back patching metal and building your dream, car and life.

For what it’s worth, I know I’m not the only one rooting for you and taking massive inspiration, even more so now that I know what you’ve been through.

Sorry to hear you are going through what I'm going through. You don't know how tough it is until you have gone through it. I'm nearing the other side and every day is looking better. Thanks for rooting for me, together we will get this restoration done. Thanks for your kind words.

You daughter is worth all the fight you have to give. Glad to hear you are coming out of the other side in a better place. And yes, turning wrenches will also bring a smile to your face once you get to that point. And the motivation to continue driven by emotion and absence will have you accomplishing amazing things in a short time. And that will be fun to watch.

Yes, thank you for your kind words. I had to stop everything I was doing to solely focus on my daughter. All is getting better. I gave her a first ride ever in a Porsche today, the SC, and she did complain that it was loud but I think she was still having fun. As you said, I can't wait to start turning wrenches. I'm ready to use the undercoating you used, I'm so close!

Sorry to hear you've been through it while away.

I look forward to reading your words and ogling your pictures again soon.

Thanks for your kind words, it has been tough while I was away, excited to get back to it. I would go online and do some ogling of the pics as well to remember what I have accomplished.

Thank you everyone. I'm glad I'm in a better place it was really, really, rough for a while there thinking I was going to lose my daughter. I had a really great lawyer and therapists helping everyone to see reality and the fact that I am a good father. When my daughter gets a bit older I will put this through the test as I will teach her how to change a tire, change her oil, and check the fluids... at minimum the basics.
