"VERT" build thread (Page 20/21)

When you pull the VERT out to go to your buddy's place, can you take a few pics in the daylight?
I'd love to see the overall look of this thing.
Thanks.
Once again, glad to hear you it's still moving forward.

Not really. I did part out some fiero doors and scraped them.

Man, this needs an update and some daytime pics!! I love what you're doing, but you do know that you can't cut the side windows, right? Tempered glass is under stress from the way it's cooled, and as soon as you penetrate the center layer, the entire piece WILL shatter.... every. single. time....
Otherwise, good work, and get us some pics!

Well there is another delay. I go in for back surgery on march 4th. They are going to screw my L4-L5 together. I have not done anything except play with my aquarium setups over the past few months due to back pain. What sucks is the volvo is ready for paint, I just dont have the ability to do it right now. As soon as thats done, its VERT time!

Sorry to hear about the back, I know how that goes I had my two lower vertebrae fused to my pelvic bone about 24 years ago!
Can't wait for you to get the Vert completed though, it looks like a very nice project
SAFASTRO MAR 04, 04:47 PM
Hey Brian.......hope the surgery went well today!
Hope you heal well, and this fixes your problem. I might be getting disk replacement surgery......I couldn't imagine getting my bones fused or screwed together. I think I'll get new disks first.
Let us know how it went!

Thanks. I guess it went well for what it is. I am just getting home today. They removed 1/2 of the disk. spreaded the vert, 2 long screws into L4/L4. Then put 2 gusset plates that look like master links for a motorcycle chain with screws in there. Finfished it all wit adding bone matter from someone else that will grow into the vertabre to make it all one. 16 staples put me back together. VERY painfull to say the least. Cant drive for 7 days and cant lift anything over 5 lbs. I will keep all up to date and hopefully in a few months, I will be getting into the garage to finish up some long awaited stuff.

Sweet build you've got going.
Don't worry about the time they take,I've been building my dream car for a few years.
It's no fun when they're done.

Hope your feeling better,back surgery is never cool.
