Well that's a nice greeting Mick - thank you.

I hope your appointment goes well today. Reading back a bit (no pun intended) I see you only get 36 hours of relief. That's not enough. All I can say is if the surgery will eventually get you right, do it. Cheryl's hip replacement will change her life.

Hey, H-Bob..

Terry, that black one is a lot cheaper and there's a reason. Looks like a back yard amateur attempt at a restoration. Watched the video real quick and aside from the obvious things, there was little attention paid to even big details. ...door gaps bad and both doors misaligned, body work looks suspicious, bad door gaskets and looks like jambs were spray can painted (without heating the paint up first..).. Might good a good project car but plan on putting a bunch of time and money into it to make it right.

Morning Al. If there is a guy in TOAK that I would listen to on this subject, it would be you. That does seem to be too low for a car like that and there has to be a reason. And I have learned a long time ago in matters like this that it's much cheaper to pay more up front for a toy done right, than to make it right on my dime.

I won't. But it was nice while it lasted.

Kinda think the black breakfast bar is out of style.

Oh yea! Nice car as long as you don't get any closer than 15 feet!

Morning Bob!

Mick, you’ll need to relax for a while after the injection and apply a cold pack! Voice of experience here.

Bob, I had a hard rule on any car that I did....."I DON'T DO RUST".. I'd pay extra for a rust free car. Rust is like an iceberg, the stuff you see on the surface is only 10% of what's really there. The '65 Mustang that I did was a show winning car....I took it down to the frame and started over. Fortunately 99% of the parts were there. It won every show that it was entered in except one local fireman's show.
