What are you working on?

[Fishy]

I'm just the opposite. I can watch blood, guts and gore all day long with no problems. Other peoples blood doesn't bother me either. My own however, yeah I get a bit panicky. I forced myself to keep my cool. I could feel my mind wanting to send me into mild shock. I just thought about other things though.

That looks painful. Hard to beleive there'd be that much fat in the palm of your hand, huh?
working in bare feet with a plasma... that could be painful...


BUT WHERE IN THE H*LL IS YOUR EYE PROTECTION??????

You beat me to that one Mike, but I agree, where the hell is the safety gear Kirk?

Still shots don't bother me, right in front of me, mine or someone elses, doesn't bother me, but on tv or in a movie :hurl: just cant take it.

Let's just say OSHA would have a field day with how 69 does things!

(of course I'm not entirely innocent myself) :shifty:

i got to sit there snappin pics watching her clean it out and stitch him up..was cool for once for it to NOT be me


as for my lack of gear..yeah...i know a few things
#1 you WILL set yourself on fire..expect it ..when your warm your on fire..when it hurts stop and put it out
#2 boots and welding/cutting is EVIL....you get a big gnarly liquid glob down that boot(and it will happen its a matter of time) it will burn itself in sooooo far you cant do anything about it till the damage is done..bare foot on the other hand everything bounces off....if you feel burning under your foot pick it up slide your foot on the ground if that fails stop and dig it out asap..still better than boots..not to mention when on a trailer like that having the tactile feedback of knowing exactly whats under your foot at any one given moment is a life saver

as for the goggles..ive learned over the years to squint and work eyes closed more than enuf to not worry about it..and with cutting..if they made a set of auto tint GOGGLES id have a set..but a helmet when cutting gets in the way far to much to use.....and if any one of you mentions gloves....yeah..ive yet to find a set that fit my paws...and then theres the fact of not being able to feel what your doing

Everything about this post is just plain wrong. You've gotten lucky, 69.5, that's all I've seen the effects of not using safety gear; they're not pretty. Go on with your bad self, but when something goes hopelessly haywire don't be surprised.

finished priming this afternoon, four good, wet coats of high build urethane...

Oh boy it's starting to look like a car! :giggedy:

I was thinking more for protection from those flying projectiles when you cut into some rust or bondo or seam sealer... squinting, well, I'm guilty of that sometimes too, and I've been cuffed on the back of the head by more than one boss...

I agree, I've been cut, burnt, and almost lost part of my right thumb with safety equipment. I would've lost part of my hand without, I would've lost toes instead of breaking them, and my burns would've been much worse. I've had welder's flash, multiple times, for being lazy.

I'm really surprised you haven't been hurt worse 69.

Charger looks awesome Resto!

These are both at work. The 32 Ford is all steel, and was supposed to be ready for paint when we got it. Well... it wasn't. Very close now, after somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 hours straightening and blocking. It will be Black, and getting all those body lines straight is a whole lot of work!
The other is a 500 K Mercedes 'glass replica that needed a LOT of straightening. I've got it in the final blocking stages on the polyester primer, it still has a long way to go before we wheel it into the booth.

We got this in Thursday afternoon. Real deal military, 1967, built by Kaiser in Windsor, Ontario.
It's right up there with one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I'd absolutely love to own it!

You would've loved my friend's '41 military Willys... the absolute Hemicuda of Jeeps. Of course, his was earlier equipped with a K-code 289 out of a Mustang, which really made it the Hemicuda of Jeeps. Man, we had a lot of fun in that thing in high school.

It went away when two things happened: he realized it wasn't what he really wanted as a hobby vehicle, and a genuine '41/very-early '42 block and head were going to cost him a small fortune to make it correct. Think brand-new Indy aluminum Hemi block and heads kind of money, and you're about right.

I'd be willing to bet this thing rides a like a lumber wagon on steel wheels. There is zero give to the suspension. A good look underneath shows it to heavy duty everything.
I'd love to take it off-road.

They were never intended to be comfortable.

They were built to go everywhere and do anything, oh yeah and get shot it. [smilie=f:

The driver's seat is mounted right on top of the gas tank. They must have called for volunteer drivers in times of trouble.
