Hi all!
Sarah here. Just thought you'd enjoy a pic of the balloons I got dad. He had a good giggle at those. Thanks for all the kind thoughts and prayers! Dad's doing well. Sitting up more and more every day. Sarah |
Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
I am so glad Dale is making good progress. Wife and I have been keeping him in our prayers. Love the balloons!

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Hope you make a speedy recovery.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Hi Dale. It's been a few days... I hope you're starting to feel better.
|
Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Hope you are on the mend and feeling better!
|
Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
How's the healing going? Thinking of you, hoping your doing good.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
thinking about this build these werent the updates I expected when I clicked after a couple months. glad to hear it wasnt more serious (its serious enough without being more serious) and glad to hear he is healing and is home.

Sarah
Boy oh boy things happen so fast and do so much damage. Glad to hear he is on the mend. My wife had a knee replacement and 5 weeks later fell and broke the hip above the new knee, and had to replace that hip. I say this only to tell Sarah to check your mother to make sure she is ok. Care takers some times tend to get run down and need relief. Get well soon. Keep on keepin on Nut Case |
Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Hi guys. First a very big thank you to everyone that posted their well wishes over the last few weeks.
I'm finally up and getting around a bit but at a much slower pace. My recovery has been slowed somewhat because 32 years ago I broke my neck and have been in a wheelchair since. Adding two broken hips on top has caused some complications but I'm making forward progress so I will get back in shape soon. The yellow 67 pick up suffered a lot of bent sheetmetal but no structural damage. My buddy has already stripped the front clip and now we are waiting for parts to arrive. Once we get the parts the rebuild should go quickly. The motor transmission and rear end all filled up with water so we had to drain them all. We changed the oil in the motor 6 times to get all the water out. I'll get pictures of the truck next time I get a chance. That's all for now. I'll update again soon. |
Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Good to hear from you again Dale. Glad to hear that you are making a good recovery. You'll have the 67 back up and running in no time with the skills that you have. Can't wait to see you progress on the twisted sister soon in the future. Hope you have a fast full recovery and can get back doing what you love in the shop soon

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
take all the time u need to heal, nurses orders!!!

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Good to hear your on the mend. Sounds like you have some great friends and family too! I hope the rebuild on the '67 goes well.
|
Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Glad to see you're getting back in the hustle and bustle of things. Its hard to keep a good man down.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Hi Dale... so great to hear from you!
I hope things are getting back to normal for you. I'm glad that you let everyone know that you use a wheelchair to get around. I know that you planned to let everyone figure that out once you started building the interior of "Twisted Sister", but now that everyone knows, we can all appreciate what a serious situation it must have been crashing into the water and not being able to get back to dry land. Yikes, it must have been scary for you. Forum members... I was very surprised when I met Dale and Sarah at the Bothwell car show last summer. I don't want to steal Dale's thunder. I'll just say that I saw some some pretty impressive modifications that he's engineered and built into his red '65 Suburban, and I'd assume the '67 yellow C10 as well. Dale, when you're feeling better, I hope you'll share some of your creative driveability mods here. Cool stuff! Really glad you're on the mend. |

You just made me chuckle....... As always, especially for a young guy like you Nik, who is also constantly learning, I guess the lesson is always out there somewhere.... "Never judge a book by its cover"etc. I was surprised too, but the lesson for me is also that the old adage of crying because we have no shoes, till we see a guy with no feet comes true here. Great to see you back online Dale. And as Johnny says, I suspect you will have multiple custom touches to all vehicles you create. Genius often works like that. Get well soon, take your time and even though I am over here, please do not hesitate to shout if you need a hand, encouragement or just a chat. It's the weekend when I get home from work tonight, some admin, cut the grass and then relax a bit. Tomorrow is 08.30 MOT test for bike, 09.30 haircut and then it is truck time.......... Have a good weekend. |
Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

Again guys, thanks for all the kind words. This really is a great community.
Here's a couple of photos of the welding my buddy is working on. This is on the rear gate. Also a couple of pictures of the new mill and the adapter to put a chevy transmission on the V12 |

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Hi Dale!! That's a sweet looking mill. Did the bracket get made on it?
|
Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Envy is running through my veins on that mill.
Glad to see Twisted Little Sister getting some attention. Nothing better than a little shop time to boost the motivation on healing. Any word on the status on the yellow truck? |
Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
The show must go on! :metal:
This thread is like Breaking Bad, or Game of Thrones. Everyone's anxious to see what the next episode brings. Thanks for the update Dale. |
Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Welcome back Dale, great to see progress on the "twisted little sister" again. I agree with Bomp, serious envy of that mill :lol:

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Nice work! Glad to see the '67 being fixed right.
