Engine rebuild on the 68 Jonny Heintz

I went outside for a walk today, it was warm and sunny so I let my dog run also. The fresh air and sun felt great after being locked up inside since Monday. It really took it out of me thought, I slept for most of the afternoon.

Good to hear .  When I received my overbore they "nicked" me.  Getting a major overhaul like yours requires that you rebuild your own blood.  Docs told me and I think they were right.  Took a couple of months to get back where I needed to be.

I tried to drive today, I would make it to the front porch then get too tired to make it to the truck. So I just sat there for a few minutes and forgot where I was going to begin with, then go inside and take a nap. Now I know how my hound dog thinks LOL.

Kinda reminds you of the old show HEE-HAW, where Junior and the bunch were lying on the porch with kingfish the wonder dog talkin' about what they might do if they just got up off their hind ends .  Yep, yer on the mend alright, but I do not recommend the interstate.  Once your Brad Penn renews you'll be good to go.  Your prob'ly running about 3 weight and you need a solid 30 weight to keep things where they need to be.

They took away all the pain meds Monday, now all I can do is lay around. Any desire to move has long gone.

June 1 you'll be runnin' laps on us .  In the meantime, lay around.  Gotta finish the rebuild from the inside out, that's how it works.  I remember being frustrated and feeling a bit defeated too, but that's just part of the deal.  Strength to you, long as you can scratch that dog behind the ears you're doin' fine .

Yup taking taking a toll right know, feels like I am dead already LOL.

Couldn't help myself and went outside to work on our 1953 Golden Jubilee Ford tractor the last few days. It has been in the mid seventies the last few days and had to get some grease on my hands LOL. I started some planning for my next step with the 66 Comet body. I am looking into doing a full tube as I can install after market suspension and drive train pretty easy.I all along was wanting an independent rear end but nothing out there would hold up, then I found this mustang rear kit that has everything in one kit. It is pricy but when you consider a 9" rear with a 31 spline locker, suspension, brakes and coil over independent to boot I suppose it would be some what reasonable.      .http://www.heidts.com/part/64-70-mustang-irs-independent-rear-suspension-racing-kit/
