Custom Mopar ????

[Torchie]

Worth it! I got new lenses a little over a year ago. The difference is amazing. I use straight up 2.50 cheaters for reading and welding now. Its great. But the best part of all is that I can see the lines on the road at night now.

Thanks gang.....
Good to hear Skip.
My Dr is expecting the same kind of results. Back to only magnifiers for reading etc.
Almost too good to be true.

Reassuring to hear all the good reports. At 61 I'm a little on the young side for cataracts but due to Diabetes as well as serious eye trauma over the years it's starting to catch up on me.

Wife is only 56 and had to have both eyes done. First time since she was 3 she doesn't need glasses full time.She only needs the mildest of readers now.

My wife had both eyes done 4 years ago and she said why did I wait so long to do this? 1.25 reading glasses is all she needs.

You've earned some R&R Torchie. Better vision awaits.

Messing with the Dodge a bit this morning.
When I lowered the rear for the mock up I put some 3" wooden blocks and a couple of C clamps on the rear springs to hold it all together. Not the most secure way. So I dug around in the u-bolt pile. All is secure now.
Also had some help so we bolted the hinges to the DS door.
All the holes lined up and the door opens and shuts as it should.
Poor pictures but they show some of the work that will need to be done on the inner door to get it all lined up. Pie cuts and relief cuts are in order.
Thanks for visiting .......

Good luck with the eye surgery there T, at least if you slow down a little bit, the rest of us can catch up! Take the time you need to heal, we need your inspiration around here.

As we used to say in the bar band business. "Be sure to come back. We are here all week." [ddd
Like all of you, if I'm not working on the project I'm thinking about the project....
Kicking this around as a option for a grill.
I would mold in the opening and use just the center of a 1950 Dodge grill.
Keeps it all Mopar. Plus it should be a direct bolt in.[cl

[forbigpicture]

The entertainment value is priceless, but I really enjoy watching your progress on a project few people would take on. And I really like the grille idea.

Guilty as charged....and as a good buddy of mine always says....."you know you are getting old when you are dreaming about your project and not big breasted women!"

I find it depends on which one is immediately in front of you at the time [ddd
