    Here are some pictures of the rest of the frame and stuff. Sorry for the lengthy story about our last couple of months, but I wanted to share that we had some problems in our lives but stuck together as a family and overcame them. Someone up there was looking out for us because it evidently was supposed to happen the way it did. Thanks for looking and reading.

    Welcome back, a page back I intruded myself to you Don, I waffled on about how much I enjoyed your build thread. Man, you and sons,(and cats) are like family to me,and I have missed all the humor that this thread has generated. Now ,do you have a thread on your rebuild of the roadster or do we just pickup from here??

    Glad to hear you guys had some quality time together. I'm sure Dan will remember these times for the rest of his life too. Sounds like the passion of his build came back. Can't wait to see the RPU on the road or the resurrected 27! Hope the engine thing turns out to be minor. I like the idea of painting it red!
    There is something to admire when you can simplify your life, even for a short while, making do with adversity, and coming out ahead and happy. Glad your back.

    Thanks Lamin8r,Whiplash23T, Steve, and Ken for your friendship and nice words. They mean a lot.

    Whiplash, yeah, I do have a couple of threads going already on the resurrection of my 27, I forgot about those, thanks for reminding me. Here they are:

    Those pretty much chronicle the entire rebuild. Again guys, thanks for letting me share the little bump in the road of life we just had, and I hope anyone else going through similar things right now knows that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. There are so many people around the world out of jobs right now, losing homes and everything else, that it just sickens me. My problems were very minor compared to so many others, and they are in my prayers. I sure hope we have turned the corner financially for the sake of so many good people.

    Don,if we,your cyber family,cant share the bumps that life throws at us,theres something wrong...We,in particular,might be down here in the deeep south,but we enjoy your posts,threads,and the ability to flick a bit of camel dung at each other,,like watching you and Uncle Bob sparring,good value... My wife also enjoys your animal stories,as we have our own furry family..Anyway,enough from me,gotta go to work..As a parting shot,I feel more at home HERE,than I do on our local board..Possibly because all you folks up there dont seem to have a bias of some sort..cant explain what I mean,but it all seems friendlier...but I think you all know where I am coming from..FAMILY

    Thanks Rick, it's good to be back. Last night I slept at the shop again because we hadn't moved Chewy and Lucky over yet and I was feeling sorry for them. I'm a little stiff today because both of them laid on top of me so I couldn't move all night. So today I packed up all their toys and stuff and brought them to the new place.

    They aren't quite sure what to make of it. They've been in one room for the past two months and they've spent the entire day exploring all the new spaces they have. They still aren't too sure about the lanai, they've never had one before and the birds and stuff are a little scary yet. They keep peering out the blinds, but when I open the door for them they run and hide. I bet being on the lanai will end up being their favorite spot though.

    Hey Don; I got a free 8 inch Ford rear end if you need it for any new projects.
    It came out of my 65 Ranchero, I can measure it if you need, or would like to have it.
    Trying to get rid of stuff I am not gonna use around here, this way when I move I don't have to take it with me.

    I don't need anything but to get it out of the way.
    Ya; Seffner is just south of tampa in Brandon.

    The 8 inch is 51 inches from back plate to back plate.
    Then I have a 9 inch out there that is 60 inches from back plate to back plate. I don't have the drums for the 9 inch though and I am not sure if the bearings in it is the big ones or the small bearings.
    The 8 inch has the drums but needs new E brake cables.

    Whoops, didn't see your post so I also pm'd you. The 8 inch is probably the one that will fit, but I wouldn't take it for nothing, but thanks for the nice offer. I'll measure my old rear tomorrow and get back to you. We can work out some $ if and when I come to get it. How far are you off of I75?

    Don
    Probably only about 3 miles off the exit.
    This thing is not new but it got me from Vegas to Florida.
    It will just be nice to get it to someone that can use it, I can not.
    And I would hate to just throw it out.
