Now I am reminded why I quit welding things about 35 years ago...I did forget one small detail to yesterdays' update. In retrospect, It's actually a fairly major tidbit because it adds the "human factor" to what I do.
The very first thing I do.
The very first minute, of the very first hour of the 8 hour day I spent in the basement yesterday I have a little "Young Frankenstein minute".
I was gonna tack weld part of the revamped tail light panel in place. I thought that I'd just hold the pieces in place w/ my bare hand.
Literally no sooner did I pull the trigger on the gun, and a blob of molten metal spattered off of the steel I was welding on, and landed on the ring finger of my left hand.
It landed, then proceeded to melt it's way to into my finger, all while my knowledge of that was obscured by the darkened lens on my welding helmet.
The pain signaling my brain that there was "an incident" that I needed to pay attention to caused my
OWWWWWWWFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUCCCCCKKKK!!!!!!! reaction.
I flung my helmet open to see this in full fester, that little molten ball now on the ground still glowing red, only now w/ part of my finger on it.
because gloves are such a hassle.
Thanks Nig-Nug.That sounds pretty sweet Mikey, Ive always loved that combo (The hurricane layout), and I dig the Harley color combo as well.
Oh bite me,....Like you've never did something like that before.
Wait........
I forgot.
You don't need gloves when the only thing you use your hands for is to hold the peen.
Or the one hand that holds the Ipad, while the other reaches around for buttwipe.Fixed.
That's real funny, except for the fact that in the time it's taken me to assemble an entire car, you've only managed to choose paint colors, and find the right angle of "square" to put lights on a shoebox.Oh bite me,....Like you've never did something like that before.

The Pope said to Michelangelo "When will it be finished?"That's real funny, except for the fact that in the time it's taken me to assemble an entire car, you've only managed to choose paint colors, and find the right angle of "square" to put lights on a shoebox.
It takes a rare form of boldness to talk smack when one's artistic creativity maxes out at "I know! I'll use the sane color scheme as one of my previous cars, but I'll be totally cutting edge by switching the orange to black and black to orange! That's so radical that the world probably won't appreciate it until I'm dead, like Picasso."
