So a recent string of bad luck has caught me starting in Feb. when my recently purchased 40 Ford Sedan Delivery fell on me and broke my arm left me pretty much laid up for 2 months...I had to rely on a couple buddies to get any work done on the delivery I got my cast off on the 12th of this month well on the 13th I was at work doing some work on our new building (I work at a restoration/custom shop) when the ladder slipped out and I basically rode the ride down on top of a 67 BMW...crushing mu hand and shattering the bone in one finger and splitting the bone in another into the joint...not to mention ending up with 10 s***ches in my chin and 5 in one finger...we I ended up with surgery in the finger with the bone split into the joint...I had to have a ***anium screw put in to hold mu bone together....needless to say I'm off work for a little while...going out of my mind not being able to work on cars...I have absolutely no use of my left hand....if not for the hamb and great community here I'd probably be going out of my mind thanks guys
Man that's awful, thoughts and prayers are with ya for another speedy recovery. I've been fortunate that the only thing holding me up on my project is green backs.
I know what it's like, I had 3 years off after a head on crash. The HAMB helped me through some very boring times. Hope you mend quickly.
Wow...hopefully you can shake that black cloud over your head and have a speedy recovery. Sounds about like my luck...if it werent for bad luck-I'd have none at all. Heal quick and be safe -RB
Wow what a stream of bad luck....on the bright side you have a 3 window and a sedan delivery waiting for your attention when you heal up
......Hope you have a speedy recovery.....You know that there a lot of things you can do when your layed up...this gives you more time to plan and think about what your going to do with your car.some of the best ideas come from planning and looking at other cars before you do yours....Thinking and proper planning saves you a lot of money down the road.....sounds like you're a car nut and will be the rest of your life....be thankful that you have a lot of friends and H.A.M.B. to fall back to.
Yeah actually have a lot more than that also a 34 pickup, 40 Tudor, 47 Chris craft, 1950 suburban, 54 Nash metropolitan, 37 oldsmobile and a chopped 53 chevy club coupe
Good Luck to you. I understand your frustration. I got hurt and was laid up for a few months without the use of my right arm. I spent lots of time in the garage looking at what I wanted to do and being unable to actually do it. The HAMB helped p*** a lot of the boring times.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery,kwmpa. Sounds like a couple of very painful incidents there. Get well soon....Don.
Holy **** dude! Bad luck has a way of multiplying. Relax take It easy and do Not take anything for granted when your out and about.
Sounds like you have a problem with gravity, hope you mend quickly. HAMB and eBay sales should help out.
Haha funny you should say that I seem to be buying a lot off eBay and got some pretty rare 40 stuff....swap meets are coming up so I'll be headed to those
Im restoring a bubble you might be intersted in! Seriously though, I hope it gets better for ya. I went thorugh some **** a few years ago. It can really get you down. Keep your head up! the bad only delays the awesome!
i think all this bad luck started with the purchase of the 40 delivery.. I'll be happy to come get it out of your way.. so as to ensure your safety..
haha actually started before that had to get s***ches a few months before...with all hats happened ill never sell the delivery
Suggest you put on a helmet first thing when you get out of bed in the morning. Terrible run of bad luck, hoping you heal up quickly so you can get back to work on that '40.
Im just glad I found a bunch of people that have the same sickness as me,I thought I was alone living in the garage..........
