Goodbye dear friends !!!

[RJ Howell]

You have been a great source of information and encouragement to myself (and others I'm certain). You will be greatly missed!

My hope is that you will occasionally pop by and check up on us.

I wish you and yours the best life can bring as you pass through these times. Thank you for all you have done!

I'll be checking in ... Don't want to miss out on the Fun ...

Right now ( for the last almost 3 years ) , I've been "rustoring" a 1969 SAAB 96 V4 ... Mighty 70 hp ... Should be good on gas... And a little Foamie should be Easy to tow ... ... Hmmm??? I do have some leftover foam , and a trailer I could cut down ???

An update on that car work would be interesting too.
I've enjoyed and learned from your work.

Be Well

PC, we bought a Very rusted 1969 SAAB 96 V4 from a guy in Florida , and spent the last almost three years , cutting out old metal , and welding in new parts gathered from wrecks of others ... Fun , educational, and it gets waay better gas mileage than my old Silverado .... Important these days in outrageous gas prices...
I've never owned a New car , just dragging home interesting ( and Cheap ) vehicles all these years and fixing them up . It was Fun , and we could drive cool cars without spending lots of Coin.

Those old SAABs are getting popular as collector cars. You might make some coin on this one.

Friz, I'm just restoring it because they're so much Fun to drive ... Watching too many " will it run " videos on You Tube , I wanted something to "wrench on" , and a friend found this one for me , it was cheap ( or so I thought) but so rusted it took more than a wrench . ( really rusted ) I ended up cutting out huge pieces and welding in good salvaged pieces I got from a Nice Lady in Kentucky ...

It was pretty gruesome for a while But turned out fine ...

An impressive save! I have had an eclectic mix of cars. It does make life more interesting.

I'm rarely on the site anymore, but it's always reassuring when I see one of your posts. You've been quite the mentor for many of us. I hope that you will keep on posting.
God Bless to you and your wife.
