Nice arm! Hope you can resist the temptation to modify it

Odin

Leave the "glove" off and I'll pinstripe it for you...SERIOUSLY! I'm not far from you, and I'd consider it a priviledge to add some flair! Just a little "thank you" for the inspiration you provide!

PM me.....

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't updated you all for a while.
Turns out that there is nothing they can do for nerve repair.
I've been volunteering at the hospital that saved me and with the fire department an example for kids of what not to do.
Anyway, I've been accepted to John Hopkins for clinical trials of the new modular prosthetic arm! I go Oct 20th!

Does this mean you're going to have your lower arm surgically removed to use the prosthetic arm?

That's what i want but don't know yet. it's clinical trials, they said i'll been given options. one option is a mountable arm, that mounts to a table or chair. only problem i have with removing my arm is that can't use the prosthetic in the shower. so i don't know until after i get there. table mount might be better if i can get a pair and until water proof comes out.

Glad to hear you're doing well and using your experience to teach others.

Side note: will you have super human strength with that arm prosthetic? LOL!!

drop your tools and hit your knees fellow rodders, we need some prayers said. Make 'em loud and clear. This cat lives in va. Beach, va and is in sentara norfolk general hospital burn unit in serious condition with burns over most of his body.

A freak accident took place at his home when a gas can exploded and covered him. Details are very sketchy, except for the following: After the can exploding, it was reported that he possibly jumped a fence and into his neighbors pool.

No visitors are allowed except immediate family and unfortunately that excludes his "brothers of the road".

If you have means of contacting his family, please do so. Post your thoughts and prayers here, so he can read them when he returns home.

Our fellow rodder will need plenty of support in his time of need. This is a very serious situation.

God bless all of you. We never know when the hammer drops.

"god bless you"..."said a prayer for you god help you with your recovery"! "amen"!!

Thanks for the update Odin. The way you have used this terrible event is awesome. Rom.8:28-29.

Mr48chev · Oct 6, 2013

That is quite a hand/arm. Hope things go well with that.

Tman · Oct 7, 2013

Good luck!

odins701 · Oct 9, 2013

Very interesting! What a day we live in, eh? Can you talk about the car? Does your wonderful dad need anything that perhaps a HAMBer could donate toward the project?

Actually I think he does. I emailed what you said. but here are some pics he's been texting me as he goes. I'll ask him for a list.

he put in a new hinge with rivets

Dad said "Were you drunk when you notched out for the rear axle? Ha ha hi fixed this side"

nrgwizard · Oct 11, 2013

Hey, odins701;

Reminds me of the StarWars episode where Luke was getting a new hand, & was being reflex tested by a robot. Or the 6million$man series. SciFi coming to life. & that's a good thing. Hope this goes well for you. Glad you could get it.

 Not sure what kind of list you want.
For now i need the rect/sq tubing to make seat brackets
You need to figure out what to do for a fuel fill neck. It could be a simple as a rubber grommet and a fill pipe from a chevy truck from the 60s...
Tag light: not nec this exact one but on the idea:

odins701 · Oct 11, 2013

odins701 · Oct 11, 2013

Prayers sent that the folks at Johns Hopkins will have the same breakthroughs on your " 6 million dollar man Arm" that they did on the Blue Babies Pioneered by Vivian Thomas in the 40's.

Good luck and know that you have folks all over still remembering you daily with the Big Man upstairs.

Good luck and God Speed

Is that license plate what you want or something different? What kind of engine do you need those parts for?

dont really matter to what license light it is to me, whatever yall think, the engine is a 2003 GM 8.1 liter 496 ci, i'm not sure what king of square tubing he wants ( i'm sure its short pieces like 12 inchers), and i know he needs some kind of plastic pad that goes on a grinder with like scotch pads that attach to it for cleaning off all the osfo used to protect the body.

wingspread7 · Oct 12, 2013

Cliff,
Do you want the license plate light sent to him or to you?

to him would be better
dad sent me an email, said he needs this,
 "Its for mounting your seats

http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant.cfm?pid=10343&step=4&showunits=inches&id=845&top_cat=849
(2x2x.12 hot roll sq tube) quantity 3

http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant.cfm?pid=10143&step=4&showunits=inches&id=241&top_cat=849
(1.5x2x.12 hot roll rectangular tube) quantity 3 (feet)"

Man, I'm sitting here imagining I'm driving this car, I just can't believe it's starting to move forward. I started it 4 years ago, and really thought that since I decided to flame on (like that guy in the Fantastic Four, haha) it would be at least another ten years if ever, that this car would get finished.
Really, thank you all for everything you do!

wingspread7 · Oct 14, 2013

Hi Cliff,
Well, Grainger won't accept your dad's address as a "ship to" address, so I guess it will be a while since it MUST be shipped to me first.
Less than a week, eh!?
Chuck
