I got some more info and it turns out I had alcohol poisoning (0.29), a concussion, and a case of hypokalemia. The reason my chest hurt so bad and was bruised was apparently, my heart stopped for about a minute during the ambulance ride and the EMT's compressed my chest to get my heart started back up again. It was a close call. I made the decision to quit drinking alcohol entirely.
I have enough near death experiences just in my career and don't need to add to that number.
Anyway, back on topic....................
My next job is going to be the frame repair. These cars are notorious for rusting out in the lower control arm areas and mine is starting to look pretty bad. I will get some pictures up of the current condition of the frame and then the repair process. Unlike CoyoteX and his "tubular" chassis build, I will be simply restoring the floorpan and the control arm area by welding in new steel plates.
Updates coming soon.
