I finally have the car down to bare metal, windows out, trim off. My buddy is going to come over int he morning with a trailer and she's going to the paintshop!!!!!!
I had a little help and the arm has some functionality back (though I am getting some odd pain spasms which may be the rotator cuff.) On the note of the arm I'll find out to morrow if I'm going to have a second surgery: bone graft, shoulder manipulaiton to break up scar tissue in the shoulder and possibly arthoscopic to see if there is a rotator cuff issue. Color choice: It's going to be metallic grey (I haven't looked at paint chips just yet, but the shop uses dupont so...) with black stripes. Keep in mind it's a '66 coupe with a stock body and a vinyl roof. The vinyl roof will be black.
Think it was ttop88 ? that just painted one metallic silver/grey here, you'd have to look up his posts as he had some picks. Should look good w/ the vinyl roof black and the stripes. I was a one armed bandit myself years ago when I smashed my wrist joint into 8 pieces, barely avoided surgery but it was a 6 month heal time. They said no more construction type work, ummm yea ok, first time I used a hammer though I was scared as hell it was gonna break or cause more damage but its ok now. I had the shots of pain to up the arm. Nerve damage takes awhile to heal. No arthritis either 18 years later now, so got lucky. Wait till you hit late 40s,lol, it all comes back to haunt you about then on a daily basis (prior back injuries etc...)
