Was going to mention it, figured the doc would have made that point as very important.Dry socket.... the idiots didn't tell me anything about after-care so i did literally everything wrong, so 7-10 days.. the swelling has gone down a bit and i'm being more careful now. Will get there..
Try a hole punch in a drill. Works slick. Carpet, melts a perfect hole. Push a pick up from below and its dead on. I stopped hammering the hole punch after the first time i tried it. Even heavy gasket material and thick rubber.Been trying to get a spring maker to make them for me, definitely a market for them. They go flying when most people take them out. Problem is 1000 minimum and a buck a piece! Felt is easy buy it in sheets and use a hole punch on it.
Nope... Surgeon was gone when i woke up and basicallly his assistant was like "Here's some gauze.. have a seat and leave when you feel good enough... seeya"Was going to mention it, figured the doc would have made that point as very important.
Looking good Ben!This is what old car guys look like when they retire to the beach!

True that. I worry about that guy. He has had a rough go here lately.I talked to Karl a bit ago. He's busy as heck like I thought trying to pay on his medical bills. He said he'll try to pop in and say hay. I just hope he doesn't put himself back in the hospital.
Wish i had seen something like that when i got my car.... that is one of my all time favorites.I went and look at the car. It has prominence and attitude but it's a 20 footer at best. The 30 year old paint is shiny but there is a lot of cracking due to previous repairs and the rear wheel arches are puttied up and there is rust on the lower quarters. Cool car and I really like it but I don't need a project. If I was Fred or Frank I would see if I could haggle a bit for a lower price and fix it up right. For me it would be a $15,000 car at best. He would entertain me trading my 66 but I wouldn't want to give it away and pay him $10,000 to boot.

Yes he has. I wish Kitty and I were much more blessed than what we are. We'd help him out.True that. I worry about that guy. He has had a rough go here lately.
I got no issue with twenty or thirty footers but at that price I think I would want a bit more sheet metal. And your car can easily bring more dollars separately than he would allow sounds like. Sometimes ya gotta just walk away.I went and look at the car. It has prominence and attitude but it's a 20 footer at best.

I would hate to buy a car that was just restored because you can burrey a pile of bondo over rust and it will look good for a year or more then it just falls apart. and older restoration that looks good even with some scratches or fading is ok or even a bit of rust bubbles.I went and look at the car.
