I love that 57 nomad... that was my screen saver Years ago, that was the style i wanted my wagon

[57truckguy]

I had to 57 station wagons does that count.

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:

[watahyahknow]

better stay away from that computer or buy a special mouse
just kidding must be from all that hammering on the metal

[daverod]

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.

[Strodder]

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

[padresag]

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?

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.

[57truckguy]

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..

[likaroc13]

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

[Strodder]

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.
