Actually it was just some random shots I found online.....lol!
Yeah, it was my bucket. Its safely tucked away at my dads. :D




Thanks again everyone for the b day wishes. It was a good day. I got to hang out with my dad and son and play with cars.


I set up a photobucket acct but can not seem to link it using my phone. Ill keep tryin, there are pictures from yesterday on it.

Yep what he said, now get your A$$ to work :lol:


:cheers: Matt

I'm on it man, heading out the door right now... :D

Happy Belated Birthday bud!:cheers:
(You share the same birthday as my brother and my buddy.)

How's it going Eric? I'm just curious how your project is going, you had a chance to work on it?

:cheers: Matt

Hey, i was just checking on your car..Any updates..

Looks like a Killer build..

No major updates at all. Be been working on stripping the body down and stocking up on parts and tools. I think I'm getting a welder next week so that will be a huge help.

E! :cheers:

Good to hear buddy! Good luck.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Getting parts coming can be the most stressful part! Get out there and start burnin holes with that welder :D

Welder. Thats a sweet addition to the tool arsenal.

I like the red then the silver, but I don't think you could go wrong with any of them.

Thanks Wayne. But I'm going blue. Lol

I just got the welder last night. Burns coming soon!

So I found out progress will slow/stop again for a couple months. I'm having another surgery on my shoulder on the 18th. I scheduled it last night.
Arthroscopy and claviculectomy. (relocating my bicep tendon/right shoulder)
In the mean time I can still collect parts. ;)

Good Luck with the surgery I am sure they will make you good as new

Thanks Marty. This is the 4th surgery on that shoulder. I hope it's the last time.

hang in there Eric. :thumbsup:

Good luck Eric. I know it's been a long road. I'll be checking in on your during recovery...:thumbsup:

Good luck with the surgery Eric, hope you have a speedy recovery. :cheers:

Are you just doing that so you can get drugs legally?

Joking of course.... as you know!

Hope that goes super well for you Eric!

Gotta love a Miller Welder!

The best burns are weld something overhead with an open neck shirt and tennis shoes.... the little bb's jump into your shoes or burn thru the thin nylon tops and then stick between your toes! Do NOT jump around - the quality of the weld is the ONLY important part of the job! That little bit of skin will grow back! Ya Big baby! :wow: :D

It has been a pain to say the least Ron.


Thanks guys, I'll keep things posted here. :)

I'm going to try that open neck tip Greg. I bet I end up with better scars that way. ;)

Seriously, I do appreciate the welding tips. It's been a LONG LONG TIME since I had a chance to ruin good sheet metal......

Hell, they are way too expensive any other way! Lmao!

Good luck with the surgery Eric. As stated in my message to you, you must be so sick of hospitals/doctors/surgeries. I wish for a quick and full recovery for you. Take care buddy and let us know how it went.
(By the way. Thanks again for the awesome t-shirt. I wear it almost every weekend.:cheers: )

Well I had the surgery went well. The shoulder block has worn off. Now the real pain is coming through. Not fun. But the whole thing will be worth it in the long run .

Good to hear it went well Eric.....

Pain is a mindset... that's not pain - that's healing! :unibrow:

Glad your surgery went well Eric, hope you have a speedy recovery. :cheers:

Must be a lot of healing going on. ;).

Thanks Matt!

Which shoulder is it and how long was the surgery? Sounded like it was pretty complex when we spoke last.
Glad things went well today buddy. Hang in there. Get some rest and you'll be back in no time!

It took about 2 hours. They drilled 9mm x 25mm hole at the top of my right arm. Then they cut the tendon lose from inside the shoulder, stuffed the end in that hole they drilled and put what's called a "sugar screw" in over the tendon .
Then they cut out a few sections of the rotator cuff and labrum (sp?).
This is the 4th time I've had this right shoulder worked on. The tendon issue is a first, I hope it makes a difference this time.

I'm still trying to get the other shoulder approved for surgery too. Along with both wrists and both elbows need nerve release procedures too.

wow! :faint:

I can email you pictures......lol. it hurts like hell right now but by tomorrow night should be past the worst of it.

Hang in there buddy! I'll try and catch up with you tomorrow...

Well Eric, it would be nice to have the other shoulder surgery listed on your app, but we're goin' to let you squeak by with this little procedure anyways. :(

One free lifetime 'Man Card' on its way.

Man, that is some serious stuff. I hope you're feeling better.
Take care. Eric.

Hi Eric,

Just jumped in here and see you are doing well. Glad to hear it. I know what you mean about when the block wears off the real pain sets in.

Feel better my friend.

Chris
