Re: 70 Custom--It's HOME
Well good on you to get her home and inside to at least plan your attack. I noticed you seem to be a little short on parts looking at the stock pile or is there more?

Re: 70 Custom--It's HOME
Also glad to see you finally brought her home buddy. I know it's been a very...long haul from the day I saw you dig the footing to this point!
I pray the rats nest i see on the intake didn't spread elsewhere in the truck!
I remember when I first brought BC #16 home and she had rats under the seat nested!

Re: 70 Custom--THE NEW SHOP
How are things? Sorry to hear about your fall- don't know how I missed it on here. Hope you heal up quick, just take it easy. Sounds like you were lucky- guys have gotten hurt a lot worse from a lot less.67mann wrote: not a good one I fell of a roof at my job last week.

I dodge a bullet that day and I'm very thankful to be in the condition that I'm in. I landed on my forehead and fractured the 2nd vertebrae in my neck.
So everything is on hold for awhile

So this damn thing comes off the 30th and into a soft shell and PT This site helps to pass the time although I wish the arses would have left the damn pictures alone. Love watching all the projects going on..... lot of talented people

Re: 70 Custom--It's HOME
That's good news Jerry.
Still in my prayers my friend.
Could not agree more about the pictures-surely by now they've felt the burn of how bad it is to shoot yourself in the foot LOL!

Re: 70 Custom--It's HOME
Thx Jeff got some even better New yesterday First, I hate to admit to having a few screws loose but, I did and it concerned the Doc. So yesterday I went back for a tighten up(mind you there's only 11 days left for take off)on my crown. Low and Behold the jailer let me loose https://www.dropbox.com/s/0y07vz0abvfoh ... 4.jpg?dl=0

ALRIGHT! Good for you, I'm thinking life just got a little better for you! Remember to take it easy still until you are healed.

As others have stated, take it slow and easy and you may be back to 100% sooner than you might think.
