I'm Baaaack !!!

I've been off this site for quite a while.
Partially planned to finish some other projects.
Suddenly I was diagnosed with Leukemia and my world spun out of control.
Chemo sucks but I am finally back to where I can function again.
So, I figured I should let you know I'm back, minimally for now.
I am getting stronger every day, so I'll be building cars, just slower now...
Glad to be back and I'm impressed with the progress and new parts being repopped.
It will make my cars easier and more dependable too!
Thanks guys,

Dale

I sold the Taxi to a micro car collector in California. I still have a project car that I had started to put together. I bought a wiring harness and had test fit the drivetrain before I started getting sick.
From there it's been a long road back to being able to function. Getting back into the Subie and driving them in parades and shows is a great start to putting my self back together....again.
I'm thrilled with the progress that's been made in repopping pieces and parts. I sure hope the oil tanks for the sedan are going to be produced.
It's good to be back :wink:

Thanks guys.

360's do make good therapy.
After my first stroke, I had lost my whole right side and my speech.
I was in occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech therapy and they all were just doing cookie cutter exercises to "help me".
I got disgusted with them and had a couple buddies push some cars around and I spent seven months in my shop banging out the "taxi".
Firing my therapists was the best thing I've ever done!
Building the Taxi gave me back my life and I owe these little cars my deepest gratitude.
Along with the Club and the guys who've helped me acquire the knowledge and parts necessary to move again, both the car and me!
Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart.
It's good to be back!
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I have to say, I am Thankful for my friends in the Subaru 360 Drivers Club.
Thank you,

Dale

I'm a mere 9,550 miles from your location, Dale......

But I felt the emotion there, all the same! :)

Welcome back Dale,
Glad to hear you are on the road...
I agree with you that this is the best therapy. When I feel the need to escape I always go to the local Pick-A-Part.
