Got the new billet flywheel and clutch installed on my 62, 11b engine (now 460 cu inches).

Well, don’t think I’ve mentioned it here, but was diagnosed with prostate cancer back in the fall. After many Dr. appointments on how to proceed, I decided to have it removed altogether, instead of radiation and hormone therapy. First day back home and doing fine. Too much on my plate for permanent naps right now.
My ‘55 still is in the upholstery shop, and when they removed the carpet, the rubber on the gas pedal pretty much fell apart. I found a nice one on Facebook, and it was waiting for me when I got home last night. Looks like it will clean up almost perfect, except for minor scuffing. It always amazes me when fellow Pontiac owners go out of their way to give great prices, or even give stuff away to fellow enthusiasts to dig up parts they need.

Glad to hear. Take care of yourself.

I was going to just pull the car out to move some stuff around, decided to just go for a half hour drive since I already pulled outside.

I hope your future is bright after your prostate surgery. My Dad is 86, he went the radiation and hormone route and has had quite a bit of trouble with his colon and other issues. I’m thinking he would have decided to go the same route as you if he had to do it all over again. Best wishes.

I actually have 3 good friends who have been through this. 1 had it removed, with no regrets. The 2 that did radiation/hormone, one of them has had complications and his PSA numbers are back up. He told me if he had to do it all over again, he would have just had it removed. That was one of the deciding factors on which way I went.
