This is a job I did a while back, maybe 2 months ago ish.. I want to thank Dan Sauer for trusting me with his beautiful mustang 🐎
Convertible cars are always a challenge to get sound out of however, this car rocked!! 🔊🔊🔊
Thanks again Dan!
(I forgot to take pictures of the subwoofers 🫣)

Good morning everyone ☀️

This past week has been brutal, mostly on my part and a vehicle in the shop that had been previously worked on by a shop who really should just stop 🛑 working on folks cars. Folks, do your own investigating when choosing a installer/shop, including myself (my boss is kinda hinky 😂)! Seriously though, I hate to charge folks good money after they have already paid to a shop to do a job the first time. I hope you are doing well 🙏🏽 me, I've been working and keeping my head down. I will be going to Rush Orthopedics in mid October to see if there is a way they can repair my left thumb/hand. (Prayers accepted) I have a ton of projects I've done and documented, I just have been too exhausted 🫩 to post when I do have a chance. I know people often come to the page as I can see the analytics of this page. I am sorry I haven't shared enough and I will post those projects. I also want to apologize to those of you who I was late getting back in touch with! Wether it was a phone call, text message, or messages left on the Car Candy page. I will be having a first ever Car Candy garage sale here at the shop, I have some older stock I need to get rid of to make room for new inventory! So keep your eyes 👀 peeled!! In the past bleak weak I had an awesome surprise yesterday when my friend Dean Oliver stopped by to drop off these gems! (See below 👇🏽) Dean is a guy who started out as a client and has become a great friend! As a lot of you have! I have very few clients who I don't have a "connection" with, and you guys will always be part of the Car Candy family! Without all of you I wouldn't be doing my dream job and something I'm pretty "ok" at 😆. I hope you all have a great weekend! Please remember there are times I'm so overwhelmed with actual work, texts, calls ect I am simply just doing my best to keep up with it all!

Good evening everyone.

Well today I went to see Dr. Johnson at Carle for ..
2 x-ray's (both hands)
Injection in the right joint.
What to do with the left thumb?
Have you ever "hyper extended" anything? Knee? Elbow? Imagine that pain while reading below 👇🏽
My left thumb is in a state of hyper extension 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. So what next?
That's a great question! We talked with Dr. Johnson at great length, he recommended getting a second opinion with a well respected surgeon at Rush hospital up by Chicago. I will tell you this much, as of this very second in my head the future seems very bleak for me. I'm trying not to get down too much, however I've worked 36ish years to get to the level I'm at just to have my fu***ng hands give out??
What does this mean for the future? I will be slowing down and I will be particularly careful in deciding on what jobs to take on and what jobs not to do. I will pass on jobs that are going to be especially harder on my hands. I will more than likely limit the work I do daily and leave myself a longer amount of time to do an installation that my hands approve of. As I type this I want to throw up, I feel defeated, tired, disappointed and just sad 😢
So I'm watching one of my favorite movies "Batman" from 1989, it seems to calm me.
Car Candy will be closed tomorrow August 26th and I'll be back in the shop Thursday August 27th. Thanks for taking time out of your night to read this. Please know I appreciate everyone of you! I'll keep everyone updated on all this.

Good afternoon everyone 😊
I will be out of the shop until Thursday August 27th. I have some injections for my hands and hopefully some answers on my next surgery. I'll turn the work phone on on Thursday, and I'll be live in the shop. You all stay safe out there! 😃
