Welllllllll, I have a good excuse for not getting anything done on the truck. I went in for carpal tunnel surgery yesterday. It will be 6 weeks before I have to come up with a better excuse. :ha: :ha: :ha:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Wow I bet that feels different. Kinda like a mummy fetiish.:lol: That really sucks though. Being old must really suck.:waah: Should I start saving up for my operation now or just wait? Heal up fast.:mm:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I have to get the left one done next, then my torn rotator cuff. Yes it's a ***** getting old.:waah:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

just a tune up, is all that it is, just to get you prepared for the next 30. that awaking at about 4:00 am pain in the arms is the ****s isn't it. I need the same things done.'I have an upholsterer friend whose wrists were killing him(same age as us); changed his diet. no more wrist problems. he did get a new lady in his life, perhaps that fixed it???????????????. perhaps that little blue pill has something in it!!

Strodder, did you get the roof completed on your truck? If so can you post some pictures?

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

whell he doesnt have to use his hand in the evening that mush :lol:
eating more vitamins could help recoverytime

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Seriously??? :eek:
I have been following this thread since before I joined this group in October of 2010.... I really want to see this cool old truck done.
Tell you what.. I will come on over this summer and give you a hand since yours are kinda banged up.. ;) Really, I don't mind. Working in a clean shop on cool cars is a sacrifice I am willing to make. :metal:
:lol:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Hell if you want to work on a truck, come on over... I'll even supply the beer


Strodder, take good care of that hand... I know it hurts..

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

man, that sucks...hope you recover quickly!

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Thanks for all the well wishes. The roof is 80% done. I'll post some better pictures when I'm done. The pain isn't that bad, because I'm on Vicodin. Plus the regular old fart drugs I'm on. :lol: I've never slept better. Only a little burning in the left fingers. I was tempted to have a Rum & Coke last night, but I better not. :haha:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

No beer needed on this end. I haven't had anything stronger than a Coke on ice since 1988.
My shop is under construction and I have been working outside for the most part so that shop over there, and all those cool projects, well they look like fun.... :)
And it's 115+ in the summer over here...

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

It doesn't get as hot as that here, but does get hot. It's a dry heat. :lol:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

That first one is way nice.. I wonder how it would look with the chick going the other way..

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

i remember the driver was sitting in the crotchregion and against her legs slightly bend over the rearfender

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

You mean like this one? :haha:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Posts need to be kept family friendly , No age limit here . Kids can see what you post .

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

My "Build Thread" is building laughs only... :haha: :haha: :haha:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

OK, sorry. :mm:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Now imagine laying on the concrete to strap exhaust back up on your truck, the nice shiny tools the temperature of the sun and your back burning....
Yeah, I gotta get that freaking carport up!
Moved here in high school 37 years ago. 115 in the shade is no big deal. But.. Pop this Irish decedent into the sun and it's all over.
I just have to make the time to get what I need done. It was 70 today, a little on the chilly side for me but it will be well over 110 in no time. No time to procrastinate here.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Sounds more like you need an air conditioned garage.:metal::haha::haha::haha:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Carports can be enclosed, A/C units can be installed. Build it and they will come.:smoke:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

:mm:What happened to the body bike pictures? I guess it ok to license and drive a body bike anywhere you like just don't take pictures and post them on this site? I do believe the ladies had swim suits on? What's up with this??????? You can show skin it's legal. It's not porn just because it has some skin. Do you people ever go to the beach???? Skin skin skin. Ah, there are kids at the beach. Next they will have us wearing veils and praying 3 times a day.:sumo: I can't believe you bend over for these people Strodder.:lol: Your hand has made your mind weak.:lol::lol::smoke:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I put a swamp cooler in my shop, and lots of fans. Works great when it's 100 to 110. :metal:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I didn't do it. Since when are there little kids on this forum? :uhmk:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Whatever. I did'nt think it was called for and it pisses me off. They were not naked.....Jerks. Good thing they did'nt look at the rest of your site.:lol::lol: Next they'll be telling that guy he can't be riding his bike on the road because kids might see him. I really like that silver bike. I think that chick had a body suit on? Always the old guys posting the porn. Oh ya your truck looking good.

Actually they pray 5 times a day, wear berkas and say we are the barbarians... oh.. was that too political???

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Thanks for your support Dave. There is always one prude on these forums. I guess you can't show a picture of a naked mannequin either?

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I don't think it is a matter of being a prude.. no.. I just quit a forum because an administrator was "filtering" posts by choosing what posts he thought were pertinent and posting those and not posting others.
It's a power trip they get and then impose their personal morals and ethics on others.... yup! just a good old fashion abuse of "power".

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

:lol:No $hit they were'nt even real.:smoke: Although sometimes that's a good thang.:bann: Does this guy have clothes on?

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
