Well I had back surgery this week. Now it looks like I will have to take a break from the cars for a few months. Iam going crazy just laying around. The mind is willing but the body is broken.  Mark

Be sure to let that back heal.  Hate to see you have a set back because to tried to do something before your back was ready.  Just give it time and you'll be back to working on your projects.

Mark, hang in there. In a couple weeks you will be able to do a few light things. Can't keep a car guy away from the shop too long. Friend of mine had back surgery four weeks ago. Two weeks ago he was back down in his shop making a couple small parts for my car, said it was for his sanity. Today I am going over to his house to pull his engine. I'll do all the bending a crawling under the car for him. Mike

MARK, IT IS HARD TO NOT BE ABLE TO DO THE THINGS WE WANT TO. I STILL CAN'T DO WHAT I WANT,BUT THAT SAID MY CAR BUDDY'S STOP AND DO THE HEAVY STUFF AND LET ME FINISH THE EASY STUFF. MY FATHER HAD 3 BACK SURGURIES AND HE BUILT A LOT OF 55-57 T-BIRDS. CAN'T KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN FOR LONG. GET WELL SOON

Hey Mark.........I guess this means my getting a chance to listen to that 4 turbo V-16 Cat will have to wait a while!!!!!!!!

If you still think you want those seat backs,I'll try to get them off sometime in the next couple of weeks.It sounds like by the time you will be able to get to it the snow may be flying.I have quit one of my jobs so I have a lot more time on my hands now.You want the backs only and not the entire seat,Right?

Take it easy recovering.I know from personal experience about those back problems.
