hey folks, to all those who kmow our favorite three fingered cantankerous geezer panel beeter, he is out of the hospital. i went by and saw him today, he said that it was only a mild heart attack. the docs told him to rest, and he is takin it easier, but not completely, he said it would kill him to not be workin on the hudson he currently has in there. typical stubby- he asked me to go get him some groceries, gave me cash, and when i came back insisted that i take something for gas money- i was gonna ask for the triumph, but he probably would have given it to me. i told him i didn't want anything, but he insisted and pushed a 59 buick hood emblem at me- told him i didn't have a buick, he said neither did he and to stick it on my barbeque- so you can see he is back in his old form- anyway, thought i would let you all know how he is doing. i asked if he wanted people to drop by, and he said only if they used to come and brought rye with them.

he has piles of everything, anything in particular you want, i will see if he wants to part with it. i go by pretty regular, might get an old buick hub cap and make an air cleaner- then there will be three for you

I don't know stubby but I'm glad to hear that he is ok http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif What kind of Hudson is he building, I am really into them! But buicks are cool too.

I am thinking about asking him if he is in the mood for tackling my 64 Wildcat. Sure would like to have a car that was customized by him. I don't know anyone with his skills around here. But I better ask the wife first. you never know what he feels like charging. Maybe I should briibe him. hah! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

i would post a pic of his hudson, but he told me if i ever brought a camera into his shop i would never be welcome again. the grill is a thin slat with sideways corvette teeth- all the same size teeth. with smaller ones with lenses in them for turnsignals inset into the fenders. the top of the fenders have been raked back and the lights frenched and tilted.

I don't know Stubby either , but wish him a speedy recovery all the same....we need all the help we can get in BC 'cause the health care system is teetering on the brink of collapse.
