Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

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:

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

Seriously???
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.

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. 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.
