Ive been dealing with the shoulder for a few years now. I am holding off surgery due to the idea of it only lasting 15 years. I’m 58 and thought if I could make it until I was 60 would give me a good shoulder until 75ish....Getting old sucks! To many years of hard labour as an electrician. With this Covid crap going on I’m not sure when I’d even get scheduled right now.
This is not a decision I’m jumping into any time soon. I was planning on doing a full restoration on the body but may keep as original patina....to be honest not real keen on that. I have a lot ready to go, drivetrain has all been torn down and re-worked. Frame has been sandblasted, epoxy primed, and painted with black urethane. Many other parts have been blasted and painted as well. I have enjoyed the many hours getting to this point over the last 9 years. This was never a project I could rush through. The body work is the next step which I am hesitant to start. Unfortunately I really don’t know anyone that would want to work on this with me.
We’ll see, I may just drop some Alleve and push through the pain.
Thanks for your reply’s!!
