    Glad you’re back and healing. In 2018, at age 62, I was living in China and feeling fine. It’s been a downhill stroke since then…bad knees, crumbling discs in the lower back and AFIB on top of it all. We’re back on our homestead in northeast Tennessee, and at age 67, I’m shot. It can happen in a heartbeat…even a skipping heartbeat. Enjoy each and every day, for the Blessing that it truly is. Great content.

    I am the king of multiple projects that never seem to complete. I started an outdoor kitchen remodel 13 months ago, then got sidetracked by a rental house that caught on fire, then got sidetracked by a rental house that was ruined by dogs, then started to repaint the inside of my home, then we didn’t like the shade of white, so we started over again, then work got in the way, then we had a freeze and killed all of our landscaping, then I decided to build my five year old a loft, now my nine year old wants one as well, painted her room multiple colors, now I’m back to the main part of the house working on the white paint everywhere. Also oh swapping out all Canlite‘s for LEDs fixtures. Oh and I’m trying to redo part of the backyard as a soccer field for my son. I love all the projects. Some say it may be ADD. But here’s the thing when you’re doing a project. It’s fun to bounce around. It would be similar to eating the same dish at every meal for a month straight. Sometimes it’s fun to bounce around and have a chimichanga from time to time!

    Everyone asks what her first project car will be, and many have ideas of what it should be. I suggested a Saab 900 or 9-3 as she could survive being hit by a couple hundred tons of locomotives (look up saab train crash, the video's on youtube) or a roll-over (Topgear dropped one from a crane on its roof) and there's lots of interior space and the engine bay of the 900 is huge for her to crawl around in.

    1970 Chevy C10 - Old farm truck that needs some carb work and a new starter. Probably new wiring harness too. Stalled because of parts shortages
    1986 Ford F250 - Needs new starter and clutch. Stalled because of DMV paperwork
    1952 Kaiser Manhattan Club Coupe - Is rough, Possum lived in it and tore up the interior and all the wiring. Working on an engine and transmission swap. Stalled because of lack of parts.

    So glad Aaron wasn't hurt bad AND to see Aaron back in action, too! Quick temporary hack for the old Roxy engine powered Chevette (To slow down the Rear seal or rear pan leak) is; negative crankcase pressure. Maybe, get rid of the PCV valve and just go with straight vacuum (is an idea). Also, slight possiblity of sucking the rear seal or seals back in to place, keep an eye on it and once the leak stops or slows down, might be able to put the pvc valve back in and all will be fine.
    IF it works, is it really a dumb idea?!!

    Love y’all! Years ago I had chronic bilateral shoulder separations that never hindered my ambulance job or being a call firefighter EMT in two communities. Doctors told me eventually all the ligaments, tendons, and muscles would catch up and my shoulders wouldn’t slip. It almost kept me from a full time firefighter career, but here I am six years post 31 year career retirement. I know it’s not bone, but those joints would get sore from slipping in and out, especially the one time my dominant left arm wouldn’t pop back in. Having it set at the ER was insane, but it’s all past me now. Here’s to Aaron’s recovery! ✌🏼❤️🦞👑👑👑 Niece is a peach!

Some days will be better than others and some days you’ll wonder why you seem to regress but you’ll power through with Emily’s love and support and your determination and be back at 100% before you know it. 🫶❤

    Aaron I feel you. I had shoulder surgery a year ago. It does get better and you’ll be back to wrenching before you know it. Thanks for trusting us all with your personal issues. Always enjoy your shows.

    Having augered myself into the ground in a bike crash and dislocated a shoulder, bruised the collarbone and kept riding, and then not icing anything when I got home....waking up as a giant swollen mass the next morning with ZERO ability to lift my right arm...I know the pain of trying to work a stick shift with an arm that won't move. It was four days before I could drive without having to shift using my left arm and basically using 3rd - 4th a lot to eliminate needing to move the extra inch to reach for 5th. Reverse was a pain being below 5th on my manual, and requiring pulling up on the lever to get past the syncro lockout.

    Hi all, firstly nice to see Aaron being able to talk about personal illness(the older you get the more illnesses you get trust me), and great to see all the family getting hands-on tools, but how can I put the next bit nicely, although it must be nice to see mum bending over while looking under the car, a big unbreakable mirror and a light just might make it easier for all including Dad see what's underneath to look at.. trust me I now know the frustrations of now not being able to get down under a car, ME, EX oval racer for 14 years now unable to do all but the very basic tasks on cars - Old age and illness arrives too early for some, IT DID ME -lol.. But BIG RESPECT all of you guys..Love your videos over the pond here in coastal England.. Thanks again - Ian.

    We are so glad that Aaron is back in action!!!! You both have been in our thoughts and prayers, Love the new vet!!!! I had a friend who bought a brand new 1965 Stingray, drove it for a few yrs, then put it up for 15 yrs, he died and his widow sold it for a very large price. We are glad you both are doing well and we love the blog!! Thank you so much Merry Christmas and happy new year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That front fascia would have been moulded as one piece. So ripping it out the way you did is the only way it would have come out.
    I have the 4x4 I'm working on, that's nearly to go for rego inspection. Long term I have an old 1960's Skoda that I need to import a windscreen for.
    I have a feeling you need to pull the whole front end off and see what other damage is under there. It will also make changing the water pump easier. 🙃
    Looks like you need a new pinion seal too.
    If you're going to mod it, go a circuit racing direction. Since Roxy is modded for drag racing. Otherwise keep it pretty standard as a daily.
    Big hugs to you Aaron, good to hear you're ok and driving again. Good to hear you're taking your time and letting your body recover.

    Projects? I'm retired and am so busy that I'm thinking about going back to work to get some rest!
    I have my '67 Barracuda that is in dire need of lower ball joints and set the toe-in on it so it can be driven, we also have a '52 Jag XK120 2-seater coupe that is cherry/mint condition but has chronic oil leaks, a common British car trait. Stops leaking, check the oil! It is a show winner already.
    Can't forget our '12 Challenger hemi 6-speed and our '14 Chrysler 300C luxury edition sleeper, and keeping our tow rig 1 ton big block Chevy Suburban K2500 patched up & running good, and then there is our 22' Dana Classic daycruiser boat.......
    We won't get into the turbocharged '79 Honda CBX 6 cylinder bike or my '04 Gold Wing.......
    Yep, got more than a few projects to tinker with!
    Glad to hear that Aaron is on the mend and getting stronger every day, and for sharing with all of us what had happened. Get better quickly, Aaron! You got this, especially with Emily by your side!

    I'm happy to see Aaron back! Health problems are not fun, that's for sure. I had a head injury back in 2016, and I still have memory glitches, headaches etc. So I understand the frustration he's going through. I can also relate to the one million projects. We have a 71 Superbee and 69 Roadrunner that's been on the "to restore" list since I was 12. I have my 55 Dodge getting a Hemi. Only 1000 bucks to go until that's paid off, so super excited for that! And last but not least, we have a fleet of PT Cruisers. We've procrastinated enough, It's time to change the timing belts. Always a fun job on those cars 🤣. Keep up the great work, welcome back Aaron, and have fun with that Vette!

    Aaron you've been on my mind and when I saw the video from California when you were in the hospital I stopped right there and said a prayer for you and Emily... So glad you are recovering well! ❤ I have to address the multiple projects going all at once 😂 So I have a 1971 El Camino 4x4 that needs wiring work and some odds and ends to make it better, a 1968 GMC C2500 that needs a driveshaft and a rear drum unstuck, a 1954 Bel air that needs an engine transplant (292 straight six from a 1967 Chevy train truck), 1984 Riviera needs a carburetor and tuned to be more efficient but does run and drive just like it is, a 1979 Malibu that needs the rear frame rails replaced and some paint and bodywork, a 1986 Ranger 4x4 I'm in the middle of 4.0 swapping, and a 1990 F150 that needs exhaust work.
    So I can relate 😂 Thank you guys as always for the awesome content and inspiration 🤘🤘🤘

    A fractured humerus is very painful. Your seizure must have been quite violent to break both of them. Praying for a full recovery brother. You are fortunate to have a caring wife to take care of you.

    Glad to see Aaron back in the shop. The oil leak coming down the back of engine is probably the oil pressure sending unit starting to fail. When they go bad they love to leak oil down the back of the block and cover everything with oil.

    Good to see Aaron back in action. It's good for that Corvette to have found you two. Something that pops to mind since you've found hidden frontend damage is that maybe the damage is actually causing the door fitment problem and the wheel well liners were removed because of other damage. I'd pull the doghouse off and have a good unobstructed look at the skeleton up there. Keep on keeping on!

    The cool thing about the corvette is that its like a swiss army knife and there are endless possibilities when it comes to body panels, suspensions and enough of them have been used up so original parts in good shape can be had like the front coolant frame and all the associated hardware. It will be a cool build for sure. Glad to hear Aaron is on the mend.

    Glad to see you both back at it, I understand Aaron’s frustration. I used to do my own work on my cars as a hobby, I was a nurse by trade. My illness has however made that a thing of the past. I have ‘79 Olds Cutlass Supreme that was my daily and used it for cruise-ins and cruises with my friends that will now be my parts car for the other Cutlass. The other Cutlass is also a ‘79 Cutlass but it’s a little bit more special, it’s a factory 4spd car, I bought it about 15 yrs ago as a project before I got sick. Although people have told me I should sell and make a lot more money than I paid for it but I plan on finishing it before the Pulmonary Fibrosis takes me. Love the videos, never met ya but know I love ya. I think “the Kid” will be the next Pistons and Pixie dust. Aaron take your time and heal, remember supervision is work too.

    Glad Aaron is on the mend!! Getting back to wrenching is great physical therapy. See you using Kendall oil and Wix filter, great products. I run Penngrade 1 in my MG for its zinc content. Refined in PA like Kendall.
