Projects The Further Adventures of a Car Dad and his Family PICTURE HEAVY

He is only here on the weekend. Even when he is in town he isn’t here he is at his girlfriends house.
Ah to be young again

 

I met a guy today that I did a little trading with. I wound up getting an intake from him.

I posted it in the classifieds for sale.

His shop was pretty cool. He had a Corvette project that belonged to his dad. He also had a 66 Belvedere that was a matching numbers Hemi 4speed car. He said it was OK to take some pictures.
Here they are.

 

I also saw this on the side of the road for sale I didn’t stop because I knew I couldn’t afford it

 

I was just looking at a photo of me in the early 1950s with a '30s era car in the background. I think we decided a few years ago that it was probably a Buick. Whataya think? Do we have a match? Probably my aunt and uncle's car. They were Buick folks.

 

I don’t know it could be

 

Well the news isn't good.
The MRI showed lots of CARNAGE . Lots of tears in the rotator cuff and a partially torn Bicep and a torn Labrum as well as some other stuff. I am waiting on them to call and schedule the surgery. I am planning on having it scheduled for the week after Bowling Green if that's possible.

I competed in powerlifting and did strongman stuff for a whole lot of years. I also helped everyone who needed something heavy moved. I have moved a SHIT TON of pianos and safes as well as lifted cars.
I still go to the gym and do stuff about 4 days a week.

What I am trying to say is I earned this, and I am surprised it hasn't happened before now.

Now I need to get a few things done before I go under the knife.

 

EXCEPT!!

That is a 1938.
Beautiful.

That shows what I know about Buick coupes

 

Well surgery is scheduled for June 19th.
That is the week after Bowling Green.
I need to knock a few things out before then.

 

Getting ready to head out for Bowling Green Wednesday morning. Look for lots of pictures

 

Looking forward to the pics, a cool event to go to before your surgery.

 

The last Hurrah before I am down for a while.

 

But you'll be done with all that in time for LLOYDFEST 2024.

 

I will likely still be in therapy for it.
It is pretty well FUBAR right now

 

I just got through hanging out with Lloyd and truckdoctorandy
Now time for dinner

 

Get ready for pictures tomorrow

 

Here’s some pictures
