84' Cutlass pro touring build

[Tony1968]

Tony,

I wanted to say a few words about your build. This thread got by me somehow and once I was aware of it, and that it was your thread, It was probably 50+ pages. Getting caught up on it was long on my to-do list. I had hernia repair surgery the Friday before Thanksgiving and while recovering, took the opportunity to read the thread start to finish. I've been wanting to reply but wanted to wait until I was at a keyboard and had a moment. You've done a beautiful job with your car. You're much too modest about the results you've achieved. It's something you should be very proud of. I've enjoyed reading your thread and look forward to watching you finish the car. I had no idea about the injury to your hand. How is that these days? The fact that you've done most of this build with your left hand, when you are/were right-handed makes it all the more impressive. Keep up the great work!

As to falling of the ladder, be careful man. They say that's the number one way us guys hurt ourselves. A good friend of mine's dad fell off a 6' step ladder onto concrete paving. He ended up with a blood clot and it could have killed him.

First I hope you heal well from your surgery. And I noticed you going through the thread with your 'likes'
Thank you. My right hand is pretty bad but I'm getting used to it concerning lack of dexterity and strength. However as cold weather is here, I am experiencing more pain. That's a first as it's been numb mostly. Honestly I try not to think about it anymore. And ladders are a top danger for sure 👍 Funny thing is I used to climb towers and smoke stacks repairing beacon lights and communication antennas. At the time that was considered the most dangerous job.
Thank you again for the kind words.

Have to thank my brother in law for helping me today. Still have to slightly tweak front fenders at front most bolt points but it's very close.

White with the black trim looks nice. It’ll be one sharp ride when it’s complete!

Thanks guys. I can't tell you how good it feels. I keep going into the garage just to look at it. Just a great feeling. Plus I have so much room freed up now.
