Hey Gang,
My build has been on hold ever since February, but I'm finally back to swinging wrenches, solo style, once more.
What caused the 1st delay was having to repair my daily driver in February & March, but after that some things got interesting. What caused my major delay was the fact that I had an accident in April when I was changing a window regulator in my brother's over the top on Go-Go Juiced, Spinning Aint Winning, Mecham 427 Trans Am. I severed my pinkie and damaged the knuckles and tendons in my ring and social fingers so things were a tad messy on my left hand, which has been on the mend ever since. I finally got released this past week, though I may still have another surgery later this year; however, I can finally properly grip the steering wheel, ride my motorcycle and most important grip and swing a wrench.
Thank God they had a great orthopedic hand surgeon (Dr. Brian Kindl) on call on that fateful day and he did his best repairing what he could and made my Dr. Evil Pinkie quite nice looking and somewhat functional. I finally started solo wrench swinging on The Chevy Cobra yesterday and can actually do useful things with that hand once more.
Please Be Careful If You Are Changing A Window Regulator On Anything, Especially Your Brother's Over The Top Go-Go Juiced Trans Am!
Steve
PS: Yes, I am left handed.
