Lookin good John, those brakes look great. I guess I never looked under your car. I didn't realize it already had subframe connectors.

Keep up the work but DON'T overdo it ;)

don't over do it ???


my a$$ has been kicked since Dale left. haven't hurt this bad in a long time... i've relearned Phillip. i'll be recoupin' for a few days i think.

spent more time settin' up the e brake cable, drove me crazy lookin' fer the fuel sender lock ring. man, why is that ??? ya spend hours lookin' fer something and if it could it'd punch ya in the nose... HA... here it is all blasted and painted and i'm lookin' in the dirty stack... drove me whacko ;)

gotta buncha stuff blasted and painted... i tried ta take it easy, but now i Really do have a lotta things i can do... what a difference JUST having the perches in makes... as beat up and as sore as i am... our conversation on the phone the other day ??? i feel so good ;)

great medicine ya know ;)

i was gonna have the gas tank in today, but i got side tracked on other Flyer work... so that's OK

so it feels good to get something done doesn't it?
Also sounds like your mood/attitude has brightend up as well. Dr.'s can not prescribe drugs for this kind of healing and only car guys/gals understand why we do it :)

i'm dealin' with medical issues that'll last me to the end... no fun. i keep fergettin' what i can do and what i can't do... hurts when i ferget. :eek:

i'm pretty much out of commision for a couple days. recoup, relax and gather steam fer another run.

with the work that got done on the perches i can now sit and think of the comin' game plan... it's a real b!tch lookin' and lookin' and feelin' yer hands are tied... i'm relieved that part is done so i can now actually go out to my shop and DO stuff... takes my mental state to a more relaxed spot, just bein' in the shop and fartin' around... ;)


it'll get done ;) soon i'm hopin' :D
