Keep us posted and let us know if we can help in any way; will continue praying for a successful corneal transplant and speed recovery.

Take care,

I have been slowly working on my Dodge which is a real challenge , as I have
about 25% vision for the past year.. Hopefully that will change after
Wednesday the 14 th. The Docs will re- open my partialy sewn shut
eyelids( one eye) Do a forth corneal transplant , Lay a self dissolving
membrane over that( dissolves in about a week), and then sew my eyelids
partially shut again( for protection from the environment) If all goes
according to the plan, I will start seeing better in about a week or 10
days. I will be confined to the house , but with my magnifying glass,
should be able to read the mail list. Please send me your best power my way!
Recently on the Dodge: I torqued down all the bolts and nuts in the
fron suspension and put the cotter pins in them. Front suspension now is
totally rebuilt and detail painted.. I installed my " Scarebird" disc brake
conversion brackets . new Dodge Ram 1500 front calipers and pads, And new
70-72 Ford Galaxie 11" front rotors . Altho brakes are heavy in weight,
this thing ought to stop on a dime and leave 9 cents change!, Seeing Dave
64's front 5 spoke aluminum whees convinced ne thats what I need instead of
the planned chrome wheels on the front. After much searching at swap meets
and e-pay, I found a pair of era correct mid 1960's Ansen "Hustlers" In
excellent condion The swap meet vendor even threw in a set of new lugnuts
and washers. 15X 6 in the Mopar bolt pattern--exactly what I wanted.
Another bonus, they clear the calipers. Scarebird said I might have to grind
a little if I used stock steel wheels.
Got my floors patched and the 4 speed tunnel welded in. and the 1965
rear axel housing bolted in. Rear wheels are salvage yard Mopar 15X 7 cop
wheels painted white. I have the 3: 55 rebuilt sure- grip differential
sitting , waiting to be installed. A friend painted my firewall and inner
fenders a BRIGHT red. The color that the Dodge will eventually be. I wooda
done that myself, but thought I better stay out of the fumes. The complete
dash is out, and whenever I can get back to it, I will paint and detail
that
Wish me good luck!..............................MO
