Re: Rebuilding Dodges and eyes

[Dave64 <lt7dave@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's great to hear things went well, Steve.  Modern medical procedures are really something, aren't they?  Take it easy and don't over-do it (I bet you haven't heard that yet!) - your Dodge will be waiting patiently for you.  I might have to get the lowdown from you on the disc brake conversion some day down the road when I'm ready to spend more money on the Belvie (like that one Ollie?).  Here's to continued good improvement as you heal, Steve.
