Ho cars I put together today.

Hey Guys,

I'm 3 weeks out of surgery and testing my fine motor skills.

Prior to my surgery I acquired some Ho chassis (t-jets, xtraction and tyco 440).

I wanted to test myself by getting a few t-jet chassis ready to go and by putting some of my extra bodies on them.

I will have to say it was a bit of a challenge working with the small screws and tools but I managed to get a couple put together. The tyco 440 cars were just the matter of popping a few bodies onto new chassis. The tyco bodies are old tyco pro and the t-jet bodies are dash and vintage aurora.

It is nice to get back into tinkering again eventhough it took me double to triple the time to do so. I just need to be patient and let my talents come back to me I guess?

Just wanted to share a few more with all of you.

Hey Dave,

I'm trying to pace myself.

Just doing a little at a time.

My wife and I went out a did a little shopping and had lunch today.

I met 2 ladies (our cashier and waitress) that had the same surgery I did. One was 12 weeks in recovery and one was 1 year in recovery and both were doing awesome and was very comforting to me. It is nice to meet new people and share each of our stories with each other. I'm pulling for you also like you did me to get back to pain free health! I'm here for you my friend!

So many projects and cars to chassis and plenty of time on my hands.......

Slow and steady will get me there......

Thanks again guys!

Hey Austin!

The dash falcon runs nice!

I have it on an AW Ultra G chassis so it runs really well.

I do prefer the older aurora t-jet chassis with skinny tires but I got a deal on a bunch of the newer chassis.

Good little racer.

I need a few dash galaxies now also.

Just need to hunt some down

Wayne :D :D :D

Thanks Guys!

It's nice to be getting back to normal whatever normal is? :lol:

I'm enjoying starting to tinker with slots again.

I have about another month of rehabbing before they may let me go back to work on extremely light duty.

So I will try and get a few more slot things done prior to.

I really enjoy the old Ho cars from my younger years.

They bring back such great memories and joy.

Great spending time here on the boards with all you guys!

I enjoy that the most!
