MONTE CARLO "COPO" Monte Carlo SS - Turbosaurus Build (Swinging Dick Racing's c*ck got bent... she bounced a little too high & hard, & came down awkwardly)

Hope you feel better soon. I've been fighting a pinched nerve in my neck for about three weeks so I haven't been doing much.

Thanks. Food is staying down, had a couple of big burps, and my youngest came down with her "doctor's kit" and fixed me with a wrench.

Focus on stretching and mobility exercises for the neck, my dude. I love a good heat pad for my nerve pinches. Getting old is fun.

Getting old is fun.

And unpredictable. Sh*t comes from all angles, and sometimes gangs up on you.

I used one of those long "sock" things you put in the microwave to cook for a bit, it gets hot AF and you just wrap it around your neck and oh, the warmth. No quick fix for that, though.

Nerves are the worst. Had one pinched in my back and ended up needing surgery. Back surgery, at 34, and I'm not a total f*t*ss. I think Mike just has a good healthy dump brewing.

I am a total f*t*ss. I was rear-ended hard in 2000. Pushed me into a Grand Marquis. Crunched my S10 Blazer front and back. Totaled it. My neck was injured. I was 24 so I really didn't think much of it at the time. Evidently I'm paying for it now. I've had 9 or 10 adjustments at the chiropractor and it seems to be getting better. I've never had this bad of a time with it. Getting old sucks. I think my Panda roll on the ice did this.

There's something wrong with you, Mike. 😆

I was dropped on my head a lot as a child, and suffered serious head trauma as a teen, and enjoy auto-erotic asphyxiation.

Or it might be the paint fumes?

Be sure to use a spotter, we don't want to lose you here.

Personal health and wellness be damned! This car needs to be built.

Ground down some spot welds, tossed down some more weld through primer and got to work.

Fun with geometry.

Cars with frickin' lazer beams stuffed in their trunks!

Next step is to weld the tubs to the trunk floor, brace the trunk hinges, and then make the triangular filler panels. Trim the seat belt anchor plates. Weld it all up and paint it. Kind of surreal to be at this point.

And repair the rear brake line. LOL.
