I drove my T to my physical therapy meeting last Wednesday. I parked in my favorite spot as usual. Sort of handy at times but I hope none of you need one of these.
After my session I drove out to see a friend that does a lot of engine work of all kinds. I was surprised to find him working on a customer car with a rumble seat kit. He didn't know anything about the cars history and I returned home after a 105 mile round trip.
I'm now on the road to Durham and Charleston, NC. Stopped in Richmond this afternoon to see the museum. Cost me $250.00 for stuff! I did get the winning ticket for the engine drawing in August, so I will be rewarded yet. The museum is looking great!
Lance, shame on you. How can the museum hope to sell any more tickets for the engine drawing now you have let the cat out of the bag!
Allan from down under.
Your friend's customer apparently didn't know anything about top bows.
Jerry, We just lifted the top forward to see the rumble. It was a two man job!
The guy that called it a one-man-top should be sentenced to raise & lower one alone, for all eternity.
Nice car just the same!
How is it that you got the winning ticket? Am I missing something? It wouldn't be surprising if I am!
I will be in physical therapy soon but won't be able to drive my T there. I had rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder today. Two tendons torn off. Doc tells me I am through wrestling 200 lb garbage truck leaf springs. I will be out of both my T's and my machine shop for four weeks at least. I have found typing left handed a challenge. In fact, I am learning to do everything left handed. Some of it isn't pretty. Take care of yourself, the alternative sucks.
Fordially, Erik
Erik, stay with the physical therapy and keep working the shoulder. My pretty wife tore 3 muscles off the posterior shoulder a year ago February and inserts put into the shoulder to hold the muscles until they healed. With lots of PT, she now has full movement and even is able to paint and stain above her head and go up and down ladders (we're building a cabin in the Black Hills).The most important part of recovery is to do what the therapists recommend.

Noel,
Thanks for the input. I have spoken with a number of people who have bee through this and they say the same as you. Faithfully follow all instructions from you surgeon and therapist to the letter for your best recovery. I too am looking forward to full range of motion and being able to reach overhead again. It is good to hear of folks who have achieved full recovery.
Regards,
Erik
