Good news... just had my xray and appt with dr. Casey. He said its healing well with no displacement. Advised me that I can transition to 50% weight bearing to no crutches as i feel comfortable. Follow up xray will be 6 more weeks and he hopes to clear me 100% at that time.

Keep those hips as healthy as possible. People who have never worn the belt for years have no idea just how much it does to your hips and lower back.

I was mp for 7 years. I also have been kicking around the idea of being a dispatcher or working in an evidence room or something. I was the NCOIC of a drug team in south korea and helped CID with other investigations. I also did an intership at fletc in the forensic crimescene investigations branch.

Most law enforcement jobs would require u to be a police officer to do csi or evidence tech stuff. Dispatch on the other hand... many are just civilian positions.

On the weekend of 4/8 & 4/9, Chris the owner of Knopps performance and I will be stripping the car down. So if u wanna stop by and say hi after the first c&c event of the year... please do not hesitate. Just a little warning, I probably won't be in the best of moods.

So... as many of u know...today was spent,with friends, taking the camaro apart. I was telling those friends that i wanted to be the one to hit the button that would make the car a cube, when one of them made a joke about me taking that cube back home, and making a table out of it. I laughed it off for a moment... but then later started to think about it again. WHY NOT??? I mean I know the table would be heavy... but if it squishes it into a good enough cube... get somee short rubber bump stops and have a piece of glass cut for over the top... boom... instant center piece, and topic for discussion. So thats the plan... who knows if it will work, but gonna give it a shot.

3x3x4 is what they say for size... we may modify that depending on how it looks as we compact it.
As for the when... i just need to find the time to go down there and push the "button."
Idk what it will weigh... its just a shell... no rear motor trans k member etc.
Maybe like 1k ???

Ugh, I don't even really have that much emotional attachment to my bird and I don't think I could go and watch that happen to it. That was tough to watch. Can't wait to see the table you make.

Gonna take some work... gonna cut some stuff down thats protruding... figure out height and create some stabilizing legs for the bottom. Some spaced stands off of the top for the glass... some paint vinyl, and she will be around for a long time to come...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170627/68c268ce8301deaf6b4a84415a4a0d24.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170627/c33767e5acb1878a32a39a4fe57bcc07.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170627/5028d0610df78ce826d89d112b6d9d69.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170627/ab4b37e337b09ff0ca607fa10973c8eb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170627/8d6c1a85e7694e00a93539ca204a4b8b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170627/5eeb3fa4406694e4d0b9fd60b8a9b64a.jpg

I'm a little surprised it's not smaller. I was expecting something seriously compacted and tight, like a 3'x3' cube or something.

Its 3x3x6. I couldve had him use the one that cubes it, but I wanted more length than width cause i have 6 patio chairs. This way, its 2 on each side.

If i used the other machine it wouldve... as I mentioned a couple posts above. The problem is the camaro is just not enough metal for the larger machine to compress, and the smaller machine wouldve given me an "end table" something like 3x3x3. Which is not what I was looking for.

I actually think this way is cooler... even beyone the longer size. Looking into the crevices and ope ings, u find parts of the car that u can identify from all over the place, now side by side... rather than the tighter indistinguishable cube... u can still see the subframe connectors... the door collision bar, etc... u know things like that.

Well even in the frigid cold today, I wanted to get the camaro table project going, and knowing that I will be out of commission for a bit, I drug her down to royal customs today and droppes her off. Told them to take their time and that I needed it done by spring... hopefully the next post will be the finished product.

Can u believe, at the end of this month, it will be 3 years since the crash date...
The camaro table project has been sitting behind the shop... just need the time and motivation, between work, life, health and school...
Still hurts to see pics of the car I lost...
