Dan, Seems like it sometimes it seems that way but I am fully recovered from my recent Spinal Surgery I had in October. I wish I could say that would be my final one but my Doc said I would be back to see him again, sometime in the the next couple of years as more and more Disc's in my back start going south.
He did offer Frequent Flyer points to me as this is the 3rd time he has worked on my in the last three years...Oh Well..
I thought it was a blessing to all that my endless chatter had stopped and everyone could breathe a sigh of relief for a bit...

Got the car back home,working on the doors and trim next.Came out very very good,the photos are doing it no justice. Block sanded then wet sand,buff.I plugged the button holes in the dash I don't have the padded one,it came out good.It is done to factory color "flame". Pretty close match,in the sun it looks more orange and in the dark it looks more red,very pleased with it.Por 15 the floor and am going to start putting the dash back together,I got A long road ahead of me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will be going in my other garage when the weather gets better closer to May or in May,we still have and get snow,some times st.paddy's day or April fool's snow storms. Let weather go now I don't care because she is home now!!!! The last thing I needed to hear is "hey your car is done" and it is 5 fricken degrees 2 feet of snow!!! Later Mark
