Is his hospital bed an "R" model?  It would make recovery go faster.  8)

Ned, a ventilator with Rick’s signature would be better!

Don't bother - I've seen his forgeries/copies/replicas whatever you want to call it. Very accurate.

RK is finally off the ventilator entirely and making steady, if slow, progress. At this rate, he'll be able to pen more stories for The Shelby American by October. One can only hope his healing improves quickly!

What? They couldn't get Rick a Hawaiian print hospital gown?

Just a matter of time before that bed has Shelby wheels on it.

Since he is going to be mending, anyone that has a story about their car, a hunt for a car, your fixing of a car, anything about Shelby America, write it down and send it to him. The Shelby American doesn't write itself but Rick does an excellent job of picking and choosing those he thinks we'd be interested in.
It will also give him something to read
Get well soon, perhaps a Hawaiian Shirt rather than a gown that ties in the back will speed up recovery
