Odins701 is in the hospital with burns over most of his body

Wow love this new forum design!
I loaded up the chassis and took it to FL for dad to finish putting it together. Trailer was donated for the trip, hard to believe my 1/2 ton carried it. lol
I took it to dad's home shop. He didn't want 2 places taken up, so he undercoated the bottom and painted the firewall before I arrived. Brother Johny came over to help dad drop the body on.

 

How's things going Cliff?

Sorry I haven't posted an update for a while. I've been working with a robotic hand and hopefully I'll get mine soon. Dad is getting close to finishing my hotrod! It's getting painted!

Car's looking great Cliff! So excited to hear the report, thank you for updating! I was just wondering the other day how things were going for you.

The wheels are powder coated...


That was on the way to paint... but here is the dash piece.

 

I stumbled late to this post. I hope everything is working out for you Cliff, You have been through a lot.
I tried to read threw the old posts. But how did the unfortunate accident happen?
Pulling for you.


Ago

 

Good to hear from you again, Cliff!! Have you started that beast yet? How's your physical progress?
Along with your dad's roll cage idea you might want to consider some drive shaft loops on that monster. Ha Ha!

Thanks Ago, I blew up a gas can in my hand from being inpatient! I'm here and alive to tell ya, don't pour gas on a fire, no matter how small it is.

Hi Wingspread7, I don't think it has been started yet, but the engine harness is done. Dad sent it off for paint ( don't know why) but it wont be long when it comes back! Anyway, I've been getting stronger and will start school soon to re-invent myself! I'm going o get a robot hand for my left hand but don't think I'll cut off my hand for a while (only if i find that it is bothersome having an arm 10" longer). I think Dad decided to omit the roll cage.

 

here some more pics from the painter,




I think all the tape is him doing the body sealer

 

Looking good.

 

More pics! It is out of paint!









wohoo!!

 

Looks like you have really turned the corner on your hotrod and in your recovery as well. So happy for you, you are a inspiration to many people! Praying for continued healing. Car looks great!

 

I don't know how to create my own message, so I have to ride someone's coattails. Might as well be another Texan. Hope you don't mind. Prayers are comin' to Odins701 from San Antonio. I'll offer some skin grafts, but I am 67 years old. If it will work, I'm in. God bless you, Bud.

 

Thanks how much skin can you spare and how much do you want for it? HeHe, just kidding, skin grafts are done. working on getting a robotic hand soon!

 

We will keep him, his family and friends in our prayers. Please keep us posted.

 

Dad is working through the electrical stuff

 

Killer. Love the flathead with the fancy valve covers . Great looking car, I bet it will scoot.

 

Looking good Cliff! Looks like it won't be long now before you got you a runner.

 

probably too scary lol

 

i'm hoping around x-mas

 

Congrats on getting close on the car! My family and I have vacationed twice in Virginia Beach - I miss Captain Georges!

 

next time, you need to give me a heads up!

 

Not sure how I missed you were in Virginia Beach, but I did. I spent 10 years over there on the USS Enterprise. Miss that place sometimes. Lived all over the Tidewater region. Newport News, Poquoson, Willoby spit, and WAY out in Mathews for a little while. We used to cruise Genero's (sp) down there, and there was a weekly thing at this little Muscle Car shop (Can't remember the name of it) out on J. Clyde Morris. Did a little part time work for Tidewater Corvette when I was over there as well.

Cool! I was on the Roosevelt. The owners of the shopping center that houses Genro's, stopped allowing the cruise ins! :-(

 

tank enclosed and filler completed.

 

My new hand is in and waiting for me. They are building the arm piece now

 

GOD bless you brother, I hope everything works out for you.
