cffisher where has he been

[bluestang67]

With the recent passing of oldford100 i noticed also cff has been off for about 3 months now . I hope everything is ok there . I was enjoying his build on the 53 and the 57 he had for his wife.

Was wondering that myself. Got a e-mail the other day (a joke) from him. My guess is that he is busy fixing some of his trans problems.

Thats good to hear he is out in the shop . I even tried to locate his son in the phone book since he lives here in town by me . Also glad to hear some can email and not require the forum for contact.

Sorry guys
I am alive and kicking here in MI. I finished the 53 Ford drove it for about 2 months and sold it. I went thrugh 2 350 trans's and one 400. One 9 " ford rear and figured there was just more HP there than I needed. A guy over in OH bought it. I'm now working on the 57 hoping to have it on the road by spring(not sure what year , but spring) I thought I had the two most expensive hobbies in the world Hot Rods and Electric Trains , I've found another and been spending some time there. Ham radio. I also went to see a hand Dr. as my hands have been bothering me a lot lately. He took some MRI's and told me I have the worst pair of wrists he's ever seen. They are now talking about fuseing the bones together so they won't hurt I think I'll put up with the pain alittle longer. It just takes me a while longer to get things done . I'll stop back later and see whats going on

Hey Charlie, let's trade xrays and see if the Docs can tell the difference.

I'll let you get fused first then check with you to see if they're telling the truth about losing "only" 60% flexibility. In the mean time I'll keep doing the exercises and wear the brace that limits thumb movement.

Good to see you're still kickin'!

[bluestang67]

Glad to see ya Charlie . You must have assembled one heck of a engine . Maybe i"ll keep the spare toploader if the T-5 gives out .

Glad to see the guys dragged you out of retirement Charlie! Any more if someone isn't around for a little while we start to worry.

Sorry to see the '53 go, I liked it a lot. Keep us posted on the other one though.

I guess I'll have to change the avitar I bought a 67 Fury III today. The wifes car will just slide back a little. This one realy as far as I could see dosen't need much. Paint and interior but all pans are good as is the drive train. I just couldn't turn it down. Going to be tough going back to Mopar havn't owned one since 64. I'll get some pictures when I pick up the car
