Retirement is in Sight

An update for the Stude community. I am no longer taking on new resto jobs. It’s time for me to scale back and move toward retirement. My health issues have slowed my output and ability to work on these cars.

First and foremost, I now need to attend to keeping myself as healthy as possible while waiting for a kidney transplant. The good news is that I have accrued almost 2 years of wait time on the national and on my local kidney transplant hospital lists (which can range from a 3 to 5 year wait). My transplant team believes a surgical opportunity will happen within the next 10 months.

Like old car parts, these old guy body parts are precious few. So I wait…….

However, if any of you reading this have a spare kidney to donate, let me know. These days a trade it forward program is in place, so a perfect kidney match is not necessary. Your kidney will be given to someone other (who is a good match) and this will shoot me to the top of the wait list for my replacement, lessening my wait time.

If only I could repair my own kidney. wink!

For the present, I will continue to restore gauges, blowers, carburetors and other smaller car parts. Contact me for more info about this….
