Hi Everyone; I've met Tom on a couple of the FordBarn outings and he's a great 'road-buddy'!

Tom, good vibes heading your way so you get back to normal soon man!

Thanks for letting us know Chuck. I'm sure Tom will be out in the garage for some therapy in not time...

Tom, here's a thought... Why not come and recuperate in the warm weather...

Tom, did you decide on the Chassis Engineering or the Kugel setup? Heidts looked good too! As long as it works, I am more than happy.
Get well soon.

Hey fellas! All of your prayers and good wishes have worked - had my 2 week checkup and I'm free to go on with my life! No walker, cane, pills, nothing except I can't lift items over 20 lbs or play golf for 4 weeks more!

Wooo hoooo! I'm back in the saddle and I'll be cruising in my avatar tomorrow ..... oh yeah, baby!
