Kip, hate to hear you have a shoulder issue. Been there and done that. Just one of those bumps in the road. Good luck on your surgery, speedy recovery and take care.

I hope all goes well for you with the shoulder. I had mine done. Long recovery but just like new.

Sorry to hear about your shoulder injury. The profession I worked in is known for shoulder, knee and back injuries and I knew quite a few people that have had to have shoulder surgery to correct the damage. They all seemed to dread having the procedure but after it was done and they got through the recovery period, they all stated that they wished that they had it done sooner.

I can’t tell you how handy the Dent Roller has been for us. We have been able to repair several panels on our 48’ Liner and it saved us from having to fabricate new panels. Thanks for creating the rollers. It is definitely on my list of must have tools for working on restoration of Airstream aluminum panels.

Hope you have a fast recovery and I am looking forward to following your progress on the Globetrotter once you get through this.

Safe Travels!!
Tim
