Smoke a cigar under the welding hood-----
I knew a guy named NYE FRANK that smoked tipperillos all the time--he had cut out a section of his hood and put a metal shield there so he could smoke the tipper ---he was a very good metal worker who worked in Quincy's shop(old age i don't remember if that was first or last name) they built lots of Indy cars, Mickey Thompson's stuff, land speed record streamliners
Unfortunately he was beaten to death by some home invaders , sure was a tragic lost to automotive history

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
