Just read the whole thread, wow you’re doing AWESOME work and admire your attention to detail and dedication. I have a lot to aspire to. I’m working on a 54’ AD with a 6.0L and it’s been quite the journey. Keep your posts coming.

Thank you for your kind words, looking forward to seeing your build.

Took a break from body work today and put some time in on my bed. Changed some things around so that the bed can be removed all in one piece if I choose to. Tomorrow I will look at welding in the new hinges I had cut out by send cut send.

So I planned on finishing the install on the new style hinges I had cut, but fate had other plans. BE SAFE THEY SAID, WEAR GLOVES THEY SAID, IT WILL BE FUN THEY SAID!…..…….UH OH.
Any questions?

NorCalGal · 08-30-2021, 12:07 AM

I will leave you with a short video of the old hinge design at work

OUCH....speedy recovery.

Marc

NorCalGal · 08-30-2021, 07:40 PM

Thanks Marc, I go see the orthopedic Dr tomorrow.
Already know it’s broken and ground through the nail down to the bone. Hoping it will heal on its own but don’t think that fingernail will come back.

Oh my goodness Jan, you're a tough cookie! You'll be back at it in no time, I'm sure.

**Getter-Done** · 08-30-2021, 10:21 PM

Oh No!!!!

I always put Neosporine on all my Boo Boo's

Looks like that calls for a little bit more than that

I hope it heals well for you.

I have had some major cuts myself.

,,,....////

**8man** · 08-31-2021, 09:57 AM

I hope you get better soon.

As my Jeep buddies say, "it ain't yours until you bleed on it!"

**Rickysnickers** · 08-31-2021, 10:04 AM

Oh wow!! Hope your hand heals right.

roll_the_dice · 08-31-2021, 10:17 AM

Sorry to see you hurt yourself...or as Forrest Gump says..."something jumped up and bit me!" Blood, sweat, and tears over our rides right? Get well soon!

NorCalGal · 08-31-2021, 11:19 AM

Thanks everyone,
This isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last.
When my friend met my husband for the first time he told her he worked at a sawmill, her response was how many fingers are you missing?As he held up his hands she turned red when she saw that he was missing about a third of his index finger.

Robert, your Jeep buddies are absolutely right….or as I say I ain’t over til the fat lady bleeds.

olcarguy · 08-31-2021, 09:56 PM

I feel for you girl.....had a few fights with one of those big grinding disks before. Not a fight you can win easily. Get well. and leave the gloves off they suck you in every time.....

Jan

I hope you are healing well.

I have been (Scolded) in my younger years and learned from it.

When I was young I did Not understand.

Now that I am a Machinist. {I Do}

I am more important than that piece of Material or machine.

Let that piece of metal / Plastic or what ever you are working with be Less important than You.

Ok, I couldn’t stand it anymore had to get back to working on the truck. Removed the old hinges and installed the new style today. Everything pretty much works the same as the old ones except these open a little wider.

**8man** · 09-06-2021, 08:25 AM

What no video? They look marvelous!
