[0331grunt]

Thanks John. Next time I am out to see my dad, I will give you a shout and maybe do lunch or something...

[JohnC]

Sounds good man.

[Slick67]

C! Been a while brother. Let's see some more dust covered parts! Keep truckin!

[0331grunt]

The dust covered parts haven't moved ! Plus, I had shoulder surgery two weeks ago and will be a while before I can do much. I really hope to be back working on it when the weather cools some, tho.

[JohnC]

Did everything go as planned with the surgery? Things still going well with the new business venture?

Looking forward to updates about the truck.

[Slick67]

We need pictures......of the shoulder scars!!!!! Hope you are recovering well.

[The Big Green]

Hope your having a fast recovery Craig. We wanna see more pics, we can't ever see enough pics lol. I got me a new Chevy project! Can't ever have TOO many lol. The wife and I will be bagging another '67 this winter. Take care man!

Things went well. Just wish my DR. would let me start therapy sooner. I go back this week and hopefully then get to start. The business is coming slowly... but we did land a job that took three days and grossed about $2500. Not too bad, but we are still hoping for a LOT more! LOL!!!! Until then, the truck is on hold

This is the only one I took... shows how they shaved my winter coat tho. It was a shoulder scope, so the scars are really small...No stitches, he just tapped them...

You must have one thick winter coat man! All I see is darkness.

Glad to hear everything is going well for you both in the surgery, and the new job.

[0331grunt]

Well, been doing a little bit of stuff to the truck....



But it still sits like this



My business venture should start up next week. If any one in Eastern or Central OK or Western AR need some carpet cleaned.... pm me. I know someone that can do it for them

My shoulder is doing better, but still hurts like, well it HURTS!!!

[JohnC]

Hey little progress is still progress!

[0331grunt]

Seems like forever since I have been on here.... nothing to report, tho. I have started my business- going slow! I am enrolled in a local vo-tech class on auto body. I get to take my panels and parts to work on them there. Hope I can get some accomplished!! Will post some pics when I get something done worth seeing

[67chevy1series]

[RCbowtie69]

Glad to see you stopped back by for a visit. Now that you have a place to work on your parts....get er done

[JohnC]

Hey glad to see you popped in to give us an update. That vo-tech class will come in handy. Learn lots of great stuff, and get to use your own parts...bonus!!!

[0331grunt]

Thanks for the replies, guys. The class starts next week, so I will hopefully be able to post as I go. This cold weather is making hard to get motivated to do anything on my truck right now. I really need a garage that is heated during the winter!! But hey, Spring is coming soon enough!!

[JohnC]

This weather is hard to get motivated period.


I'm defintely ready for spring!!!!!

[The Big Green]

Craig, your acting like it's cold or something? lol. Yea, I build trucks but can't work on my own truck. It's been so cold and I have a shop but it's cold too! I've been getting the old rockcrawler out when I can, it has heat.



Good luck on your class!

Where ya at?!?! We need to see some new pics of the painted project!!!

[0331grunt]

Guess what?? Im still alive!! Guess what else?? I haven't done a single thing to the old girl I also have decided to go a different route as far as powertrain.. Im gonna install a 12valve Cummins. Still go with a stock look, but with a little different sound to it . If it works out that I ever get to work on this any more, I will post pics, because we all know...

[The Big Green]

I havent logged on in forever lol. I also havent so much as moved my truck in like a year other than do brass freeze plugs and turn it around and pull it into my garage. I have money in my pocket for a 5.3 4L60e but cant find them because everyones doing that swap. Its the mileage that caught my attention. I cant pass up 12mph vs. like 20mpg of a new school engine.
