Got out of the hospital today.

Surgery went extremely well.

Doctor ended up removing my appendix. (one less thing to worry about as well)/

The infection was much worse than they thought.

So Happy it is done with. I will be back and better than ever. Expect to see more of me in the near future.

Thanks for all the prayers and support.

Trying to get everyone taken care of before I go in for surgery. More merchandise was shipped today.

Sorry to those I delayed on, If I wasn’t hurting I would be on it like normal.

The site and my project will be on hold for about another month or as long as it takes for me to heal.

Note: Please keep this in mind while ordering merchandise. May be some time before I ship to you.

Looking forward to doing more work on my car.

Finally got the date for my surgery.

Friday, August 17th 8:30 am

It is estimated I will be in the hospital for 5 days.

Your prayers and support is greatly appreciated. I have never had a major operation before so everyone emails have been very helpful. Luckily we have excellent hospitals that can fix these types of problems.

Explanation of my condition: I have had diverticulitis for almost 2 years and that has caused a fistulus that has made a hole in my bladder.

The good news is that I will be better than ever. Everyone I have spoken to that has had the surgery has had a much better pain free life.

I been sick and have not been doing updates.

I have diverticulitis , and doctors have been lagging to give me surgery because I am “too young”. Well since they didn’t operate right away I now have a fistulus.

Will be going into surgery in a few weeks.
Once I recover. I will get back to everyone’s questions and my project!!!

Thanks for your support.

I love cars, Sometimes you hear a cool story behind a car…. here is the story and photos Paul Sent in.

My dad passed away at 58 unexpectedly and the 54 is the only thing that gives me comfort as he loved the car like a third child. (There is only my sister and i. I am 36 and my sis is 29. So yeh, our world has been turned upside down but this fills a small part of the hurt

Here is the license plate I chose to put on the car. (bad picture)

I would love to tell of my dad and his car. The car as at the paint booth as we speak in Hayward , Ca. The car is originally an Oaktown car (Oakland, ca)

I now live in Folsom, Ca. Hayward is about 3 hours from my house. The dude repainting the car was a close friend of my dads. I am painting it its original colors (two-tone) India Ivory on top and Rosemary red on bottom.

It has a 496 BBC with 607 hp at 5700rpm and 608 hp at 5800rpm
it has a beefed up turbo 400 and a narrowed ford nine inch 31 spline 3.25 pose rear witha mustang II front end with power steeting and disc brakes all the way around.

This car has A LOT of history and me and my dad are a lot of that hisory. He bought it in 1963 and it has always been stored. Notice it is the HARD TO FIND sport coupe (no post)

The care is just as unique and just as rare as my dad, it is very very special.

I am doing this in his honor and memory as I feel somewhat obligated because the car never got finished like we had imagined (together)
