[QUOTE=greypoupon69]What happened to you Bob?  Did you have surgery?  When?[/QUOTE]

Well yes... (a little over 3 YEARS ago)  but not only was it not successful and had to be ripped out because I also picked up a major MRSA infection in the hospital ... 42 days in the hospital and another 3 weeks on an IV at home connected to a wound vac.....then 2 oral antibiotics every day up the present...

I'm still breathing BUT the drugs I needed to get the MRSA under control  (not cured) destroyed the nerves in my lower legs and hands...

I am Not complaining mind you...I'm upright and breathing and having  good time being bad...

I'm a retired Drug dealer (Pharmacist) so it figures that a drug would get me...

Man, that is one sweet looking ride! I'd have to see it up close (PLEASE!) but from the pictures it looks close to perfect! Well played, Bob!

Jaws you are always welcome it will not come out of the garage until April Fools day as usual to start the driving season and I'm a retired stick in the mud who rarely leaves the house...especially in winter

BUT it is NOT perfect by any means should make a very nice cruiser however ...Pick it up today tomorrow or Friday depending on the weather ...

It still looks mighty clean to me! I'll have to stop up there sometime. You're really not that far away! Anyway, great find and I hope it works for you. You said you always liked the C4s!

Joel:

Thank you for posting the pictures for me....  The seller was not supposed to get home from work until 6 PM and it is now 6:03 so I am killing a few minutes before having my wife drive me over to pick it up...

The Valve Covers have that brownish look which will me my first job after I get it home an on the lift...plenty of time to mess with the car as it will not leave the garage until my traduitional April Fools day ceremony of taking all of the cars out for the first time each year...RAIN or SHINE...

Car went thru inspection ...needed two front hubs and the seller took care of that so we are all set....Seller said he would take a personal check but I went to the bank today and got a cashiers check anyway....

I'm pumped to say the least... Gotta a funny feeling that I will not get to bed real early tonight...
