We started today by clamping a brace across the bottom at the front to keep the width correct. Then made the first cut along the body line on the side. At that point we realized that we couldn't do this project on a couple of saw horses so we made a stand to use the hinge mounting bolts to hold the hood up. With the hood supported properly we went back to cutting and made two vertical cuts 4" apart. We decided to stop here for the night and mull over the next steps. More cutting tomorrow.

Dale, the rear hatch is looking good. Curious to see what you'll do with the hood...

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

Hi All,

This is Sarah, Dale (65sub)'s daughter. Dad wanted me to fill you guys in since you're probably wondering why the productivity has slowed. Dad was in an accident on Wednesday afternoon.

He was driving northbound when a southbound vehicle left-turned in front of him. To avoid collision, Dad left-turned into the St. Clair River. He was in his yellow '67 C10. He was fortunate to have a good samaritan pull him upright to prevent him from drowning, and a group of people pulled him out of the vehicle. Dad was then airlifted from Wallaceburg hospital to Windsor hospital for treatment. He has two broken hips.

He has undergone surgery and is now stable. The surgery went well.

Rest assured, he can't wait to get back to the ol shop as soon as possible!

---------

Here's some pictures for you to mourn the damage of the shiny yellow truck:
The picture of the truck in the river is of the truck being towed out.

The dock with the flagpole is there to show you: Dad and his truck went into the water approximately as far as the flag pole.

------------

Thanks for being a cool, encouraging group. I know Dad always looks forward to updating you guys, and will be sure to resume doing so as soon as he is recovered!

Sarah

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

Sarah, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad's accident. I hope Dale's not too banged up... but broken hips... that's awful. When I had the pleasure of meeting Dale (and you) at Bothwell last summer, I got a sense of how passionate Dale is about his car & truck hobby. I hope that passion will get him through his recovery and back into the shop where he loves to be. Sarah, it must have been tough hearing about the accident. Thankfully it wasn't worse. Vehicles are replaceable but loved ones aren't.

Thanks for letting us know.

WOW! very sorry to hear this. Even though the damage to both person and truck is not minor, it could have been worse. My thoughts and prayers go out for comfort and a speedy recovery.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

Aaaaaarrrrrgghhh!!!!

That is really not the way I like to wake up, Dales thread is one of my wake up to in the morning threads.

Both hips, and the rest are bad news.

Really sorry to hear that.

This will have to be be a slow recovery and he needs to listen to the physical therapy guys to maximise his recovery and more importantly function of all joints, hips are real important and can take extra attention (this is your nurse speaking)

Wishing him the speediest recovery and thinking of all of you.

Thank you for updating us Sarah.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

Keeping Dale in my thoughts.

I really hope whoever it was that decided to make a last minute left turn in front of a highly visible truck (I've been in this exact situation, but I took out the other car) at least stopped. If they didn't, it'll just make my blood boil even more - but that's a rant for a different time.

Either way, as I was catching up I saw the "I love Texas" license plate on the wall of your (Dale's) shop...

Texas loves you too, Dale. Get better soon, my friend.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

Does anyone on this forum live near where Dale is ??

Does he need anything ? Your country is massive, so I really have no perception of size, and space there.

I have no idea how far he is from home right now, but maybe even a phone call, check in, text, email.....

Just wondering if we can or need to do anything else for him while he is stuck in hospital.

Sarah, Dale, if you read this, please let me know, PM or on here.

That's a great idea rian, I do live in the same country but your right about Canada being very big and Dale lives very far away from me. Johnny Lamebridge Does live in the same province as him and has met him in person before. I'm sure there are more Ontario members hanging around here that would be willing to help as well

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

Hi All,

Sarah here scribing for Dale.

Thank you for your concern and support. Surgery is done and we're just taking care of post-op stuff. Should be home soon.

Dale

Ok, Sarah here:
Dad was tickled by all your messages I think they're what are keeping him most entertained during his long days in the hospital. So thank you for that. When the accident happened he was going to pick up a part for his truck. When I heard about the accident, here was the Order of business: arrange to get the part, find out the damage to the yellow truck, update the forum. Needless to say he has lots of fun and draws lots of inspiration from all of you. As I was reading your well wishes he was like "oh yes, he's the medical researcher" or "he's the young guy on the forum".

Mom is an RN so dads been watched over since the accident. She's only left the hospital once since Thursday. He's got s good team and a good head on his shoulders. Thanks for everything.

Sarah
