Good vibes to ya, bro. Couldn't imagine.....

I was diagnosed when I was 4 or 5 and then went into remission until last year. Hopefully this new injection I’m taking will help I’ve been feeling better. It sucks I wouldn’t wish this crap on anyone.

Got to get a coil spring tool to compress the springs but I got the lower control arms installed since the balljoints came in today.

If you’re as persistent with beating that disease as you are with resurrecting this car, you’ll beat it.

Not had the best couple weeks was admitted to the hospital on July 10th and got released on July 17th had a small perforation in my colon and some other issues. Anyway hopefully things stay on the up and up. I did manage to put all the wheels back on the frame and roll it out. I’m going to take it to my moms garage to store it until I’m ready for it as I don’t want it sitting outside and I’m running out of room lol.

Hope you are 100% soon. I know all about the scar tissue. My surgeon referred to what he cut out as cement. I'm pretty sure I've got a decent buildup where they put humpty dumpty back together again in 2016. Just keep swimming brother. Awesome, inspirational work on the car.

Me too I am absolutely over not feeling well and not having any strength to really do anything I currently have a picc line in me for at home iv antibiotics that will probably last several weeks. From what they said the scar tissue is pretty bad so mine will probably be described similar to yours. I did manage to get the frame in storage today that way it doesn’t get ruined outside as I’m not sure when I’ll really feel like working on it. Hopefully sooner than later

Hang tough. I had the picc line for about 6 weeks before the surgery.
