1978 NYB New Engine.....

Bob its good to see your positive attitude regarding the medical issues I know that facing it with a positive attitude is half the battle.
 
I will have to delay finishing the engine for another week while I take care of some medical issues. My red blood cell and iron levels are too low again. I have blood and iron transfusions and lab monitoring for several days. I should be fine. I want to finish the Blue Beast but it will have to wait...
Feel better soon Bob ! We’re all rooting for you ... but mainly because we want to see the finished car and hear your stories of the e bodies you will take down with it.

Thanks for pausing to take care of yourself... you have until July to finish the NYB... :thumbsup:
 
Get better Bob, thoughts and prayers for you. Just think while your mending I am sure you will think of more things you need for this beast.

Bob: Take care of yourself now. The car will be there when you are feeling better. We are all pulling and praying for you.
 
I'm feeling a little better today after treatment. Kidney problems are causing the blood, iron and D3 issues.
 
Does anyone know if Formals have a Saginaw 600 series steer gear?

I need to get hose adapter fittings. I believe the fitting kit from Billet Specialties might work.
 
The treatment is a slow process. I can move around and walk short distances. The doctor said I should feel a surge in energy from the iron transfusion but I don't feel any different. I'll see on the lab report on Friday if I am improving.
 
Bob, since you've started, from the first bolt turned and when the engine arrived, what unexpected bumps have you encountered.
