Guys; I am touched and encouraged by your responses to my search for advice. I feel like I'm among friends here. I have decided to take the direction that was so strongly the popular choice, and will get cracking on trying to finish that Mav. The idea certainly appeals to me; I'm still quite excited about the concept around which I am doing the car (phantom Shelby Mav) and would love to see it thru to completion. Thanks for the extra push I needed. As to the future, I too believe, as some of you reflected to me in your posts, that it's in God's hands. Regardless of what men have to offer me, in terms of a prognosis, if He so chooses, He can heal me completely. And if He chooses not to, I will trust in His perfect wisdom that my best interests, and those of my family, will be met. Along with that is my assurance of a much better life, for eternity, with Him (no cancer in that place!!!). Thanks too for your promises of prayer. Maybe I'll see some of you at one of the meets some day. Till later. Gratefully, John B.
