Re: its alive my monster is alive

it took 3 years to build this truck, it gave me a heart-attack 2 yrs ago when i was working on it. i lost my eyesight in my left eye in a grinder accident while repairing the door panel and almost cut my pinky off cutting the sheet metal for the floor. i put my blood sweat and tears into this thing and today is the greatest day ever.

You have a talent for thinking up and writing headlines... that one is a candidate for one of the best on this forum in a while!

Saw the video; jeez, lucky you if the old lady/little woman doesn't just flip out about all the noise and smoke...

Thanks for that one though! :-)

Oh that was you???? I remember a thread by a fellow up in Canada that lost an eye to a wire wheel. I related that story several times to my welding class comrades to emphasize the importance of eye protection.

After reading that terrible thread, I bought a face shield and began using that in welding class or anytime I can when I wire wheel or grind something.

Glad to learn your truck is running!

yep that was me , glad to see that you use my story in your class. i run a mechanic shop and my guys are not aloud to even walk into the shop without safety glasses on and if they do they get sent home for the day. i just ask if they want to learn the hard way like me and i have pictures to show them .
they never take their glasses off.

Ha-ha! I just had a terrifying thought; what if all of the 1967-72 Chevy truck wives got together on a forum thread of their own to compare notes with each other about the surreptitious activities of their Hubbies?

There would go our convenience of sending her shopping while we run our truck parts through her dishwasher, use her nail polish to clock the drive shaft for removal, borrow her blow dryer to get that stubborn adhesive off the valve covers, and run our carburetor parts through her ultrasonic jewelry cleaner..

Not to mention using the guest hand towels to buff that dried Turtlewax off.
