Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I air bagged it, made a custom triangle 4 link, and sold him the 20" Intro Wheels. I did the same kind of links for these Nomads, and sold them wheels also.

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!!

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

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:
