Awesome, Lars! Very best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Sounds like you need a beer hat for a while...

Lars, we've met though I doubt you would remember. I'm a short out of shape man who isn't aging well. I just wanted to say I hope all continues to go well. You should have asked them to add an arm in the surgery. That would give you the ability to two hand tune a carb AAAND hold a cold beer at the same time. Speedy recovery Lars. Follow the doctor's orders and you'll be good as new, er, used.

Glad to hear you're on the mend Lars.

I don't own the green beast anymore, but one of my fondest memories is driving it to Chicago a few months after having the engine rebuilt to have you tune it.

I just read this entire thread, and it's great to hear you're on the road to recovery. Still wishing you the best, and a speedy recovery. I too personally owe a debt of gratitude. You've helped me on several occasions via emails.

Lars stopped by to visit and return some borrowed stuff this morning. I think he just needed a reason to get out of the house. He was driving his newly restored black '64 roadster. I could hear his Hooker supercomps coming from quite a distance.

Good to see him out and about.

Ralph.

I'm glad to hear that the surgery went well and you're up and about. We sure have missed you here on CF and hope you heal quickly. Thanks for all the help over the years. I've learned more about cars from guys like you than I ever imagined
