I'm glad you guys like the story. The support for Rick has been tremendous.

When Fuzzy was painting the car, the thread had 2,500 hits in no time. Members were asking what new had been done to the car daily? I even jokingly posted if Fuzzy didn't post new pics soon, when he got up the following morning to get his son off to school a group of us would be standing at his door.

PS. I just checked the tread on Rick's car and saw this posted.

Urgent UPDATE On Rick's Condition.

I just spoke with Rick's friend, the doctors have given up on Rick he has had all the chemo and radiation that they can give, and it did not help.

Rick has lost over 50 lbs and is now in bed most of the time, he is on high doses of morphine for the tremendous pain he is in.

He doesn't have much time left it can happen at any time.

Rick's wife said that if anyone could come by and put Rick’s car together, Rick would be honored and graceful for the rest of time.

I am asking that any member that can spare the time and can go to Rick's home and assemble his car, it would be the last of a miracle come true, again Rick has very little time left.

Green Lane, PA is really not that far from me, it's really close to the Quakertown area that I kind of want to move to.

Perhaps when I have time I will go through the whole thread, maybe I can donate some time to a great cause.

As you can see by reading the newer pages, Rick doesn't have much time.

A group of guys is making plans right now to travel to Rick's to put the car together. So he can at least hear it run before it may be too late.
