A Public Service Announcement:

Boys, put your sunscreen on and wear a wide brim hat so the Doc doesn't have to dig a quarter-size crater in your face to get all the cancer cells out. Next week he digs a hole in my neck/shoulder.

Sending good vibes your way.

Bob, thinking good things for a full recovery.

Been there, neck/nose/ears. All those days at the beach surfing in Ventura, CA with no hats or sun screen (that's for kids). So far good results.

Thinking of you Bob. Hope all goes well.

 

[Dr Crankenstein]

Stay indoors. (Your shop makes for a dandy "wide brim hat".)

Seriously, Bob, I wish you a speedy recovery from this and next week's procedure.

Here's to your health and longevity, my friend, you're an inspiration in more ways than you know...

Here's to your continued good health.

Thanks for posting this.

Thank for all the kind thoughts. This kind of skin cancer in not deadly. Probably many of you have it and have spots frozen off periodically. I've been a bit careless in the sun. Will be more cautious in the future.
Not too exciting, looking at u-joints and 3/4" shaft, but this much of the steering wheel to box is done, except for welding. I got lucky and found the u-joints in my pile-o-junk.

 

[Old Iron]

Glad to hear it bob
Steering looks good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bob w]

Been picking away at it. First pic is what you see from the driver's seat. Steering column and wheel is done except for a little welding. Brake and clutch pedals are in and need just a little adjusting. I whittled away at some 1/8" aluminum plate and put some vintage swap meet gauges in it. They'll be straighter in final assembly. Will hide a small 3 gauge panel containing working instruments under the dash. Here's one of the movie theater seats I got off Craigslist. Still need brackets. The intake was set up for 3 one barrels during its brief time on my dragster. I thought it was too much for street driving so I made a new base plate to fit two small 2 barrels to it. They're off of a 260 cu. in. small block Ford.

Well Bob that is some fine looking work. [cl

Nice 2x2 carb top plate with a pair of Autolite 2100 on top. You know how FTF & myself love those two barrels. Now you got to buy two more for that big Ford 300 dragster motor.

 

[smallfoot]

I remember those old theater seats...much more suited to short sits in a dragster[ddd[cl

Tom, I've got two 1.08 Autolite carbs for the dragster. Going to take some time to build a manifold though. Got some larger Autolites too if the 1.08's aren't big enough.

Tuesday the Doc dug a quarter-size hole a quarter in deep in my shoulder. Got all the bad stuff out. No stitches on this one, just a dressing. No pain.
