Unfortunately my car will not be done by the time my goal rolls around.I was hoping to have it almost complete,not perfect but able to drive and somewhat nice to look at for the time being by November 6th for a show.
Reason being is my father who was helping me about 4 weeks ago had jabbed his hand accidentally on my roof while chiseling away silicone In area above the windshield.He had slipped and a piece of rust went into his knuckle.He immediately went into the house and cleaned it out the best he could and covered it with a bandage...
Two weeks later one night he noticed where the injury was it was a tad bit inflamed and the middle finger joint ached.The next morning his hand tripled in size,ballooned,very swollen,infected.He went to the emergency room.7 hours later he was back home with medication.The next morning his hand was as big as the morning befor so once again he went to the hospital.
He was in the hospital for 7 days.They said If he had waited for one more day he would have most likely lost the hand.They had to go In and clean underneath his knuckle and flushed everything out.They also put in a pick,Which is a small line that enters in the forearm and runs through your arm all the way ending to your heart.The purpose of it is to inject the formulas to fight the infection faster,instead of entering it into the arm and it circulating that way,its entering the pumper for more effect.Every 6 hours he has to pump 4 viles of stuff into his arm.He will be doing this until November 6th.Which ironically,was my deadline...
My dad Is the stubborn kind that frowns upon using gloves,not saying gloves could have prevented this,but could have easily just been a scratch,and precautions help the matter.As of now i haven't been doing anything to the car,hes been out of work and I have been around to keep an eye on him,the whole pick idea freaks me out.I wouldn't want to move my arm at all.I have also been stressed out because the doctors said DONT use it,he could make matters worse,but he keeps wanting to do stuff and he doesn't want to listen most of the time.
So that's whats been going on.Its maybe better,Id be ruining a good thing taking the car to the biggest show jersey has before its finished.Next November i WILL be ready.
"Sunny D"-1974 Plymouth Satellite Sebring With Sundance Packaging
I didn't do anything to the car for a long time.My moms car broke down so we needed a place to work on It.That meant getting the satellite out of the garage for the first time this year.Sadly the job on her car took more than a day so my car had to spend the night outside wrapped in a cover.
