    Small progress, but no pictures at this time to show. Life has been crazy for me the last couple of weeks. My F250 6.0PSD had a cracked timing cover that would have cost almost $3K to get repaired at an auto repair shop. So instead I fixed it so it would only cost me $1K in parts!

    In addition dealing with my Dad needing Dialysis more than his 3 days a week now and the doctors wanting him to do it at home daily now. So been trying to sort that all out with the doctors, my parents, etc.

    Hopefully I am able to get back on track shortly.

    Sorry Guys! The RS is still down in Texas, patiently waiting for me to give it some love and attention. Unfortunately running a full time business here in Grand Junction with 8 employees has kept me busy and unable to make a trip back down to TX in the past several years. Then in Feb of this year, I had bilateral knee surgery to replace my worn out knees after all the years of abuse. While recovering from that I ended up having to go to the ER due to difficulty breathing. They discovered that I had 1.5 liters of fluid on my lungs and my heart was in Aflutter. I ended up spending 6 days in the ICU to deal with that. I am back home and doing well and waiting for an appointment for my Cardiologist to be able to reset my heart back to a normal rhythm. Hopefully that happens in a couple of weeks. Then I will have to go back in about 6 weeks later for a procedure to deaden the nerves on my heart that caused the Aflutter. So until all of that takes place I am unable to travel via plane or vehicle for long distances and my wife is definitely not wild about me making a 1100 mile trip to TX to play with the RS. So it will be later this summer at the earliest before I get back down to TX. I hope to get down there and bring the RS up to CO to finish it here so I can get it wrapped up. It will happen, just as usual not on my original time line. I will update the thread once I get going again as well as my other build threads hopefully in the next month or so once I am able to spend more time working in the garage on my Foxes. Thanks for checking in and the encouragement to get going on the RS ASAP!
