Hope you get well soon.

And I can attest to getting regular physicals and PSA/blood tests.

I am 45 and earlier this year I had a prostate biopsy;they found no cancer, but when they examined my bladder they found a tiny cancer pollup that they removed. Shouldn't be a problem going forward the Dr. said but a lesson for everyone out there to get tested sooner than later.

Back to the car......Got to recycle some parts today....when I did the Biscayne a couple of years ago, I bought a U.S. Radiator 4 core from them......when it showed up, it was a 4 core, but, it had small tanks on it.....after finding the correct Harrison Radiator....I put the U.S. one in the basement....well...I got it out today and installed it along with the A/C condensor......starting to move along again....

Got the forward light harness installed along with getting all the A/C lines cut and fit.....I'll get them crimped tomorrow and installed for the last time....I also will get the power steering hoses made tomorrow ...........

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC06268.jpg

I also figured out where to mount the ECM and the trans module.....I'll make a common mounting plate to mount them on and it will get bolted to the inner fender panel (not too many options as I have to go where the harness will let me)Wires everywhere..........Dave will have to blend everything together


http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC06270.jpg


I did my part......Got the headlights and Horn relay wired......Time for a Nap!!
