[QUOTE="Tourmax, post: 177035, member: 5304"] Well, as life always does, it jumped up and bit me in the butt. On friday, my back went out. Spent the night in the hospital under some heavy pain killers/muscle relaxers and am now hobbling around the house. It’s an old injury that jumps up and drops me every now and then. Broke it on a medivac a couple hundred miles off Sable Island in 2002 and now have a disc bulge at L5/S1 that the MRI says “nerve impingement”. Which is a nice way to say it’s going to drop you like a sack of bricks when you least expect it and for no particular reason. Work on the Vette will have to be “curtailed” for the next while (on the order of months, at the least). Hard to bend over to reach anything below my waistline right now and as we all know, the Vette is...loooowwww. To add to the misery, money has gotten kind of tight for the next couple months. So the Vette will be mostly linited to some polishing work and a few fixes (ie: AC). It also has me rethinking the plans. Not sure if it will be done anytine soon, but I sure like the idea of a 427 Ci small block under that long, low black hood. But...the upside is (out of our stable of vehicles) the Vette is the most comfortable vehicle I have for my back. The reclined position is the best for my back and the C4 has a very nicely “open” seating postion. It’s just the getting in (and out) thats a bit of a challange....lol! [/QUOTE]
