Just an additional note of caution on a safety item that probably not many of you concern yoursef with.... This just happened to me on Thursday morning. I was installing the trans cooler on my pickup and rolled under the truck on my creeper, drilled the holes and bolted it up. As I was rolling out from under the truck, my ponytail got tangled up in the creeper wheels!!! Took me about 10 minutes to get off the creeper and untangle my hair!!! Got to remember to tuck my ponytail in my T-shirt after this!!!
Ok, it did happen and it's funny. But doing things safely in the shop isn't a laughing manner. I've had a friend die when his cheapy cheapy stamped steel jackstands broke and a '66 Caddy fell on him. Another friend is missing an eye from a hot spark while grinding, and yet another had 80 some stitches in his chest and arm when he was hanging over the fender revving the engine and the clutch fan blew up. Hot Rodding and Racing our toys is great fun, don't screw it all up because you think safety gear is for sissies!!!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
