Projects (Mostly) DB/Mopar Roadster Build or... Hodgepodge Dodge

Won't tip over.
I'm a weeble.
Weebles wobble but they don't fall down.

 

Check-in time @Rickybop
Are you ok?

 

Hey Brother Flea hope you and Judy are better - y’all be in my thoughts and prayers - take care

 

C'mon @Rickybop , get back to me. Check your PM's. We need to hear from you.

Hey @hallrods , do you have any way to check on Rick?

 

Anyone know how to contact Rickybop?

 

I'm here, I'm here. Sorry.
Mostly just resting. Keeping the animals fed. Still feeling like poop... kinda weak and fluish... but maybe not quite as bad.
Judy is still in the hospital getting a 5-day course of medicine for her congested lungs. Praying that she can come home in a couple days.

 

Rickybop, our thoughts and prayers are with you and Judy.

 

Lol I called the sheriff's department in your county, they said that they found you in a hospital. I guess you're not Richard Hudgins

 

That's just made my day Rick. It sure is good to hear from you. Today is a good day.

A big thanks to @Lloyd's paint & glass . I sent him a PM to see if he could help......and he did. He is a long way from you, but a lot closer than I am. Appreciate it Lloyd.

 

No sir.

 

Thanks, guys.
I appreciate the concern.
It's true that there's nobody here with eyes on me right at the moment. I'll try not to leave you wondering, but @HOTRODPRIMER (Danny) has my contact information and he'll usually be aware of any major changes with me.

 

sending prayers your way....

 

Feeling a little better today. Good enough to clean up the place a bit and cook some Thanksgiving dinner. Cuz Judy is coming home from the hospital tomorrow.
A very thankful Thanksgiving.

 

made my day sir....you can cook too !!!!! a man of many talents...have a happy

 

Great news to hear Judy is coming home tomorrow. I know you two are going to have a great Thanksgiving. Gene

 

Well... whadda ya know... Judy and I got through this latest thing without dying, thank God. And thank you guys for your concern and support and your prayers. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Judy didn't really have flu symptoms, but had some pneumonia. Seems all cleared up now. I had typical flu symptoms. I was actually still feeling residual crappy from everything even through yesterday. But this morning, it feels like somebody flipped a switch and I feel quite a bit better... like I can actually do stuff without thinking I might fall down.

I've got some catching up around here to do.
And a roadster to build.
VROOM VROOM
OK... no more OT sickly posts.
Next time you guys hear from me, it'll be a progress report.

The very best to everyone!

 

Great news.

Now, enough goofing around. GET TO WORK ON THE RODSTER!!!!

 

Glad you are both feeling better. You are a very lucky unlucky guy.

 

How are you feeling? Hopefully you're up and about now and everyone is doing well.

 

Doing better now.
Thanks, guys.

Fact is, with everything that happened basically all at once, I was sick and hurting like I've never experienced before. Finally started feeling better but then I got sick a second time WTF? I've mentioned I live and work on a farm. Still lots of stuff that needs doing around here and it's mostly up to me. The work kept wanting to make me sicker and the virus just made the body aches worse. Ugh. But as they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. It was "interesting" (more like worrisome) to see who was going to win LOL! I kept pushing. And then sitting. And pushing.

Getting the hay in and mending the fence was the big test. I passed. Just finished with the fence. I'm definitely getting stronger. Oh, believe me... it kicked my ass... but I don't really feel sick now. The work is sort of starting to feel good again if you know what I mean.

Yes!

Now that I'm feeling better and my chores are done, I can FINALLY haul a rig 5 hours to Ohio to pick up my 1926 Dodge 4dr parts car.
Leaving early tomorrow.

 

Oh ho! Road Trip! Life *is* good... .
Marcus..

 

hay Rickybob - been a while since I checked in with you - glad your improving - but you are killing me posting the pics of food- I still am on a feeding tube so I can't eat, but that looks good - have not done too much on my rpu but hope to get back to it a couple of weeks - been down with the covid for a while but am getting better - you keep hanging in there - check you later - Jack

 

Hey Brother Flea - how was the road trip - didn’t leave any poo in Ohio did ya - take care and keep getting uglier than me

 

Hahaha... you guys... Hahaha.

@jaxx that turkey was terrible.
Yuck! LOL
You take good care of yourself and get better.

@bubba55 did I leave any poo?
WTF?... LOL
Actually had a glitch and didn't go yet. My whole life is a series of glitches lol... Gonna take another shot at it this coming Tuesday. You can bet your sweet biscuits I'll post some pictures and stuff when I get back.

 

This isn't the actual car, but pretty much what I'm going to Ohio to get.
I just know there's a roadster body in there somewhere. I'll use the frame and whatever else I can.

 

Looks like '25 deluxe? Save the cowl lights.

 

The ad where I got that picture from said 1926. Aren't '25 and '26 the same? '24 also?
I will save the cowl lights. Are you saying they're rare? I've heard that. But then I see some for sale for reasonable prices. I might use them for turn signals on the front frame rails.

 

Surely you can’t be serious? Lol

 

I often ask myself that.

 

Could be '26, only years to have a cowl vent. Cowl lights only came on deluxe models, should look like mini headlights on any antique.
