RE: Rebuilding Dodges and eyes

[David Bailey <bb64d440@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi MO (Steve),
I remember you being one of the first to greet / welcome me to this board when I signed on. Man, you sure made a lot of headway on the Dodge, far more then I have on mine! Between our commonalities you mentioned then and now in your time of need, I sure wish we were not so far apart so I could be of some help, as I know many others here would as well. Keep the faith, as we all will here for your speedy recovery!
Prayers and best wishes Steve!
Dave Bailey
