You might want to turn off the TV and get back on task!
Let's hope G/ma doesn't subscribe to the H.A.M.B.
I'll bet you'll be back at it before the doc thinks you will. Seems like weather your working on the coupe or falling on your elbow, you go at it...
Good news, now you can relax and smell the roses for a while!
What happened, I hope it's not serious. Get better soon!
I for one have always thought that for the most part upholstery guys are not given enough exposure and credit. With the exception of a few reality...
No one can say you haven't put 110% into this build Jer. Having the desire to get it right and than doing what it takes until it is right might...
It's alive!! Great Jer.
Hope you are both better soon.
Same to you Jer.
Jer, a very wise man once said, "Growin' old aint' for sissy's". He has a post on here somewhere, let him be your guide.

Lot's of great detail that will go unnoticed for the most part. Job well done.
Very nice work Jer.
Jer, your doing great. If I could do what your doing though, I couldn't do it the way your doing it. I would have to have all the body together to...
My eyes aren't as good as yours are Jer, I don't see what your talking about.
Was that your left hand holding the template for rounding the upper left door corner? Looks like the ring finger nail got beat with a hammer.
I like the way you are establishing the door openings with the 1/4" rod. I don't think I've seen that done so much on this era build, usually just...
IMHO it was worth all the time, not to mention the money you invested to get the chop right. A little black and white photoshoping and this might...
