How on earth are you going to sit still for three weeks? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I may have to drop by and verify you are not exerting yourself. Let me know if you'd be up for some of the local BBQ later this week.

Surgery complete and here's the look I'll be sporting until the Jan 7 reconstruction.
After he did the excision, the doc said he didn't think the reconstruct would be a problem, so that's good.
Again, no lifting more than 10 lbs for a week, they don't even want you to bend over.
Oh, well. Time to do some binge watching!
Let's start with some car stuff, shall we?

And a big thanks to everyone for the kind wishes! Happy holidays to you and yours! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif)

Speedy recovery Chris. Amazing what they can do with plastic surgery these days. I had a two inch hole taken out of the middle of my forehead down to the skull but you can barely tell it now. I'd post a pic but I've been told it makes some people want to throw up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

+1 on the Carol Shelby documentary. It's nicely done.

Hi Chris - Scars give you character. Looks like you have that well under control and will be back to fabricating in no time. Please follow the doctor's advise.... don't want you sneaking out to the shop and lifting stuff or getting in weird positions and welding and aggravating your open wound. Until then, relax and enjoy the holidays. Cheers,
Michael (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Same here Chis. I just went though this with Mohs on my face in April and then the big melanoma on my shoulder all summer. You'll get though it.

Go ahead and send Brent and I the gore pics . . . he and I traded them back and forth and the Doc's did do a great job on Brent he is even more handsome when you can't see his skull. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I highly recommend you start tearing down an engine or something to keep yourself distracted. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Have a merry Christmas, this will heal before you know it but you have my utmost sympathy in the meantime!

Ant Ansteads special build, while not my thing was a fun watch, which leads me to say, your building a special.

Speedy recovery and don't go to crazy in the down time.

Merry Christmas Chris, can't wait to see what you do in the new year.

@Krieger @Dion @Cracker @Cairo94507 @Andyrew @bbrock @Superhawk996 @914forme and all you other guys:

Thanks so much for the nice thoughts and comments. It really means a lot.

Yes, I saw the Shelby documentary. Makes me want to build a Le Mans or CanAm replica. P4 or T70? Well, how about I finish this 914 first, eh?

And as to what silly things can happen when I'm not able to do much, and how this will impact what I'm up to next year, it's too late.

I've already made a stir craziness-induced component purchase that I'm sure will have many of you shaking your heads in disbelief.

But let me get things a bit farther down the road and be sure I can pull it off before I go public with it. Assuming it comes together as planned, it'll be too cool.

Stay tuned! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Chris, best wishes for a peaceful holiday season and an uneventful recovery. Just a quick tip: online shopping and pain medications do not mix well. Ask me how I ended up with my collection of depression glass pitchers.... I know you are self sufficient out there but you know how to reach me if you need anything.

Hey folks, your good thoughts seem to have worked! My pathology report came back and the good news is the initial excision work got all the cancer! It's clear margins for me so no more "rust removal". On Jan 7, I go in for what is literally final "body work"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

I'm still supposed to be taking it pretty easy but I couldn't resist the shop's call...
That said, I'm only doing "light" sorts of things. Again, I know this sort of stuff is boring but it needs doing. Today was final install of the passenger door sill - I'm happy with how it turned out.

The to-do list is getting shorter.

I'm thinking if the doctor is anything like you, he'll have to go in and redo the "final body work" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) five or six times which is bad, but you'll get better looking each time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
