Good luck with that, just remember, if it is cancer it is beatable! I have experience with that, as I am currently a 2 time cancer survivor. Keep an upbeat attitude and have faith that you will be another winner! I'm convinced that keeping a positive attitude makes all the difference in the world!

 

Good luck and hoping for the best for you.

 

Cancer can be beaten, and control can sometimes be as good as remission.
I have already told my story here, but I was given a year to live, 31 years ago. I am still not in remission, but I have been on an experimental drug that has kept my condition under control. Just deal with the fear, don't let it overwhelm you. Meditation tapes work to quiet the mind.

Have beaten prostrate cancer and cancer spot on lower eye lid (this cost me $7000 to fix) but worth every penny

Back home after a month in USA (LARS) and catching up with emails and sites like this
Happy 4th July

 

Best wishes!

 

Hope all goes well Bob!

 

Yesterday I washed off all the pre 1975 crud on the fenders

Today I stuck all four back on the chassis, first time since 1975, That is factory black paint from 1911.

 

Cruising through Arizona... Hope to make Kansas by Noon tomorrow!

Been tearing apart our kitchen, Still has the OG 1949 steel cabinets. Gonna have to rebuild most of the hinges as there are no replacements. The plan is to blast and powder coat the doors. And paint the rest...Now the problem is deciding on colors , I'm good with original white ...the wife ...not so much

 

I tried out some newly acquired (off the HAMB) fenderwell headers for the 57 p/u project, almost a bolt in..ha ha

 

Left California yesterday morning, now in Pratt KS.....

2.5 hours more and I am home!!!! Yay!

Got my son to tighten up my lug bolts today....

I had to swap out the front axle to get the car to steer better. And the rear brakes and gears we're froze up. After pulling the drums off, I removed the shoes and reassembled the rear end. After the rims and tires were mounted, my buddy and I showed little man how to tighten the Lug Bolts.

Tomorrow I can finally get the car into the garage. Yay!

I put original style license plate bolts on my 37 Chevy but in stainless,could not find the square nuts in stainless but will get some when I find them. Found the original license plate bracket in the garage and was told the bolts looked original,I need to stay away from the restorers and getting parts to put the original style tail lights on too but will be over the winter.

 

Worked on the 377 a little more today , pulled the carbs off and changed the power valves from 6.5 to 5.0 Ran it for awhile , double checked everything . Gonna pull it off stand tomorrow and take it home so I can install it in the 37 this week

 

hope that cancer has not found you - have delt with prostate cancer - know that it can be a challenge in your life - one day at a time

 

Got off work today , went to the shop & worked on 66 c10. Few days ago filed the points , a little squirt of carb cleaner & vroom. A hickory nut made its way out of tailpipe too! Flux

 

Finished building my wheelie bars on my Morris Minor Gasser. Man it's hot in my garage ! 90 plus with high humidity.

 

Gotta blow the hickory nuts out of em every now and then Did the same thing with the old 55 truck out in the garage a few years ago after it had been sitting out for a long time.

 

Nothing on vacation back to east coast to visit kids and grandchildren
