Second Chance Garage Website

I reliedon the Second Chance Garage website for easy to understand tutorials on automotive electrical systems. Now when I try to bring it up I get a "403 - Forbidden: Access is denied." error. Does anyone know what happened to this site? TIA

Second Chance Garage

Since the website was down, I exchanged emails with the website owner. He was working on the same model Ford truck that I am. The news was not good - here is his reply:

"Unfortunately, I was unable to finish the project, mainly because of health issues. I've developed some arthritis in my fingers and that makes it difficult to use a wrench. I also had to give up playing guitar, and that makes me sad.
Since I couldn't finish the truck, I also decided to stop the website. It performed pretty well during covid, but traffic to the website was continually dropping afterward. I took the site down in January of 2023. It had been up since 2002. Not a bad run, and I did have fun doing it and met some interesting people."

Age is catching up with me too.....

Best to everyone.
