<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: ORIGLS6</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Quick update: <span style="font-weight: bold">I talked to Randy Bridges tonite. He's healing quickly and should have the bandages removed in a few days. </span> Everything is looking good, and Joe is already rounding up the parts to get the car going for next season. Randy said Joe told him, &quot;I've been doing this since I was 16 years old. I don't know how to quit&quot;.
These guys are truly 'Old School' racers, through and through!

Good to hear after seeing what happened.

We'll be heading over to Joe's shop next week to hang out with the crew for the evening. Almost every Wednesday night they get together at Joe's to work on the car, or just [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/bs.gif[/img] &amp; bench race. Joe has a full kitchen there and some of the grub that comes out of there is [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img]. We've had fried chicken, Bar-B-Q, BLTs &amp; sweetcorn, and one night were treated to fresh fish, chicken strips, shrimp, fried green tomatoes and deep fried dill pickles!!!
I'll try to get some pix and (with Joe's permission) document a trip back in time as we walk through the shop. The stuff he has, and the tools he has, and the parts he's made, ......... unbelievable! For instance; have you ever seen a straight 6 Ford engine with Cleveland heads on it??? Think about it! </div></div>
That's great news, it coulda been a lot worse!
